idle problems

ive recently removed egr bac aws, vacuum rack and modified my throttle body, the lowest idle i can turn out of the car is about 1300 through adjustment of the idle screw and double throttle plates. does that sound right? any tips on lowering it would be greatly appreciated

what year car, turbo or n/a. did you leave thermowax on? vac leak? i assume you are talking about the idle stop screw? i would suggest checking TPS after you check for vac leaks. Did you make sure to take out the fast idle cam?

mine had idle problems because the idling screw that was supposed to keep a steady idle that was above the TPS sensor was broken off im guessing yours is not though... your TPS could be at fault though
