I know this , when ever I am in gear at a redlight the damn idle drops so much it feels like I am in a popcorn popper LOL . I am thinking about adjusting the idle myself . This is the idle that was on the car when I bought it

i think its the automatic choke that keeps the idle up high with rich fuel..when it warms a bit the choke shuts off and ur idle comes down to normal
