Icon2 why do 3rd gen preludes idle like crap?

why do the 3rd gens idle so rough, I know its not just mine cause my friends does it too. just wondering.

sorry for being so long on the vid I had to get a new camera, but here you go http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lOQsid1-Zt8 the camera makes it sound weird but you should get the idea, Im just wondering if thats just how they idle?

Maybe you and your friend just suck at cars, mine, my ex's two, and all my friends idle fine. Sounds like user error to me.

Pretty much the worst way to help somebody out that is seeking advice on an idle issue....
Give out some useful information

My motor doesn't make the power it should, why?

Yeah...if you want an answer, you have to give me something to work with. They don't all idle like crap, so I was telling him they don't idle like crap. And I'm pretty sure your post trying to make me feel bad was less helpful than mine, so please. Shut up.

Ok, so your car idles bad.......I don't think anyone is going to debate that. Do some searching and some tinkering and you can fix it.

Check the FAQs for a big idle-fixing thread.
