yeah it was fine....now it sounds like the valves need to be adjusted already..the car only has 30k on it ...i bought the car from a dealership..but i met the OG owner..and by the way he drove his other car..i know he drove this car to the max

Any intake modifications? CAI? TB? IM?

Mine does that routinely after a longer drive... though my regular idle is around 1.2k most of the time. Could be the IACV, I haven't found the need to readjust mine yet...

How long has this occurred on your car? Has it ever done any different?

It could be stickly idle-air control valve. Spray some throttlebody cleaner to it and see if it helps.
