Hi Members,
I had my car checked and was told it was idling to slow about half of what its supposed to be.
What causes this and what do I need to fix this?Also
where on this car is this problem?Im new to this car bought it Saturday and already had to replace an
alternator and battery.So much for a used car grrrr.

There is no RPM gauge on this car.The guy at autozone had tested the idle speed and said it was running at 500 to 600 rpms
