So heres my problem
My car starts up right? When its in park it idles at about 1k-1.1k Neutral it idles a little lower. Everything else it goes way down to about 500, shakes like theres an earthquake in my car, and sounds like its gonna die, but never does...yet. Anyone know how to fix this problem? |

I had the same problem when I first got my car - after checking/cleaning all that stuff, turned out to just be my spark plug wires. Goes to show in my case at least, cheap parts (that were on the car when I bought it) get you nowhere.
