Default Low idle when coming to a stop....

I have a 93' GS300 and it seems that when i come to a stop the idle dips down a bit too much, it usually idles at 700 at a complete stop but now I'm noticing it dips down to aboput 500 and it feels as if the motor is about to die. Have any of you ever encountered this? And if so, what was the cause and what did you do to remedy it?

Thanks in advance,

clean the throttle body... it helped on my car =P

If you don't clean it, it idle will start decreasing before going up as you accelerate from a dead stop... I actually waited until that started happening (I had NO idea what was going on)

Another thing you can try is putting in a grounding kit. Seems to have helped smooth out idling for people that have done that.

Sorry to bring back an old thread, but did you ever figure it out Seize?
