Best Answer

If you drive an older car that has a carburetor, it could be that you need an adjustment to it. Your engine could be misfiring, but the engine light doesn't come on. You should take the car to a local mechanic, because it might need a tuneup.

There is no adjustment for the idle. It is controlled by the computer. If it is not idling properly, you probably have a bad Idle Air Control ("IAC Motor") or a bad Throttle position Sensor ("TPS Sensor") If it is turning the check engine light on, you should check to see what code it is setting in the computer.
