Default annoying idling.... please help a brah out...

ok so I'm driving and i pull up to a stop light or stop sign and as the rpm's drop the car idle's really bad like it gives a bit of a hard shake throughout the car... i know i could just easily adjust the throttle cable but i dont wanna mess with the factory adjustments what else could possibly be the reason for the "annoying idling"?? or is it that the the cable simply just loosens up after a while?

i have a after market exaust and when it rains the hangers get wet and some how the exhaust just starts to shake and the car raddles bad. But it only does it when it rains.

maybe your throttle cable because loose after a bit, you're easiest solution may be to adjust it a bit, not too much.

if that doesn't work, maybe someone else can guide you.

same happens to me, ever since i went over a huge speed bump . i have to see if i can bend it back down.

the speed bump bent up my exhaust to sit like 1" higher, in rain, it vibrates against the body of my car.

I get the throttle stick as well, but it's not that often, considering most of my driving is on the highway.
