I asked about this sunday, i have done the idle reset proceedure as described in owners manual. seems a little better but is idleing very low.it almost seems normal if you turn on the air conditioner.would it help to replace the fuel filter,dont know how old it is.any other suggestions are welcome.
Yes replace the fuel filter, and put some fuel injector cleaner in, possibly just trash in the line

1. Vacuum leaks. Check all mounting bolts at the intake, check all hoses by wiggling them around. Listen with stethoscope or a length of fuel hose held up to your ear with engine running. You will be looking for a hissing sound. 2. Check egr valve. 3. Check air filter. 4. Check timing belt. ( you will need a timing light) If the mark is jumping around, your belt has jumped. If it stays basically in one place, it's good. 5. Check camshaft lobes. 6. Valves burnt or leaking. 7 Dirty or clogged injectors. 8 . Faulty idle control system.

you need to look for a vacume leak thsi would also make your IAC valve go beyond range.good luck

I recommend getting a repair manual from an auto store for your vehicle. They run $15 to $20. It will tell you exactly how to do everything you asked and also give you the values that should be expected. Hope this helps.
