I really need some help with my car. I have a honda civic 2001 LX with some idling issues. After warming up the car, the idle often drops to about 500-600 it hasn't stalled recently, but it has in the past week after i disconnected the battery fuse from my car. I've took the car to a honda dealer recently and they did not find any problems with it, but the car never idled at such a low rpm. Honda dealer recommended a tune up (done at the honda dealer) and replace all the filters and stuff, which was done. THe idling issue is still present. What should i do? I try locating the idle control valve but i was not able to find it on my car. Can anyone give me some suggestion? or how to go about readjusting the valve?

I'd just let it idle low. As long as it doesn't stall.
I'm pretty sure someone will be able to tell you more in a bit,

As long as the idle doesnt fluctuate up and down quite a bit, and the car doesnt stall, I wouldn't worry about it.

what is the purpose of having a "correct" idle. my idle is low too.

ok and what if you idle starts off around 700-1000 then goes to 400-600 and the fluctuates when holding the brake, or in neutral, and even sometimes stalling and turning off the engine?

am i screwed or is it sumthing that isnt too expensive to fix? cuz i know the guys at honda repair shop rip you off and charge mad dough.
