jumping idle
When my car is warm it idles at 1700 rpm or it will idle at 700-1100rpm jumping on the tach. When my car idled high I was to try the idle screw to reduce it, but now it bounces. I did not touch the idle srew and set it to low. Please help Eric

TPS=Throttle Position Sensor, one of the main determinants of engine idle. Has to be adjusted to within spec before you will get a decent idle.
FSM=Factory Service Manual; in the "Fuel" section of the FSM you can read up on how to set and adjust the TPS, how to set idle speed and lots of other stuff you're gonna have to do.
FSM's can be found on line. Look in the FAQ section of this forum....
