Re: Idle problem, need help (yonnage)
my car does the same thing, ive replaced the plugs, plug wires, rotor and cap. A new thermostat and new radiator(autozone 100 bucks dual core 
). and cleaned out the IACV numerous times. dont' know what the problem is yet, most likely the IACV but i can hold out from spending 200+ bucks on a new one for a while. post if it gets fixed.

I thought that if you had a faulty/dirty IACV, it rev'd higher, not lower. Did you try pluging the hole to see if it makes a difference?

i knew that is was a joke...cx's don't come equipped with a/c for the most part, anyway, you think too much oil will cause the low idle, it looks like i am a quart over

I am not quite sure, but you prob shouldn't be over
When did you do your last oil change?

could be timing, throttle cable, or iacv. but since you say the only thing done to your car is an intake i dont think it would be any of those except maybe iacv. exhaust leak shoulndt effect idle.
