Engine Problems, need help!
Ok so when I start my car it starts of idling about 1500 then after it warms up the idle drops to 750 or so and idles roughly to where I can feel the vibration in the car. Other times it will start idling a hair over 1k and then goto idling roughly? :wtf: Any thoughts?

If you haven't messed with the timing, and it just all of a sudden started doing this, then it shouldn't be that. Tell us more. When did it start? Does it do it all the time? Sounds like a plug/wire problem to me. If you rev it up does it still miss?

Yea, I would check your plugs and wires. It is likely that one cylindar is missing so I would just do a basic tune up with cap rotor, plugs, and wires if needed.

i'm having similar issues with my truck. resetting the computer and cleaning my throttle body sounds interesting. how might i go about doing this? even if it doesn't solve the problem, it probably won't hurt anything would it?

it is most likely the timing. have it checked/adjusted if necessary. resetting the computer won't do anything, the computer learns slowly and makes adjustments, so if the same problem lasts a few days, it won't help.
