: she's idlin' at about half
: of what she used to
: was@ 11000
: now as low as 6000
: is this when i take the oxygen sensor
: seriously?
: anyone know what might cause this decrease?

My first idea would be to check/clean the throttle body and confirm that the throttle
position sensor is working.

Is the idle low and steady or stumbling?

Also check for a sticking Airflow Meter door.
