Default How to fix low idle for good!!!

i have an eg and i always notice that my idle is at around 500 the car shakes alot when it warms up. i adjust the idle by playing with the two nuts that hold the throttle cable in place. but when i do that it is fine for about a week and then it starts to idle low again. is there any way to fix the idle so that it stays at 800 for good?

Look directly at the throttle body, look up towards the left (or right) and you should see a flat head screw in a hole. Play with that screw and see where the idle is at best.

also you didnt say what motor this is.
