Car idles really low but does not die?? Need help!!
My car idles at 2-400 RPMs but does not die. The car does not terribly shake like it is going to die, but it does shake a little. I tried adjusting the idle control valve (I'm not sure what its called exactly, the flathead screw on the intake manifold) but it doesn't do anything. Any ideas?

True! I never noticed that. Today, when I was parallel parking, I put the car in reverse and had the clutch pressed in (not engaged yet) and the RPMs dropped to 500 and it really seemed like it was going to die, but it didn't. I'm gonna mess w/ the IACV again tonight and see what happens.
