Well, i brought my car to the mechanic and he adjusted my idle to the right point where it was perfect and it was running great, then he turns the car off and starts it back up and its back to the idle running terrible again. does anyone have any idea how to fix this?

I'm getting so angry over this, he can't figure it out yet.

Have you or your mechanic pulled the codes yet to see what the problem could possibly be?

could be your IAC (idle air control) valve on the side of your TB.

Or a dirty Mass Air Meter sensor, but I would start with what the codes are saying, if it said it was the o2 sensors, then it could affect it.

Its better to follow the codes than to just start replacing sensors that you think it might be...

The only way people learn what worked for some folks is to hear feedback. When we run out of ideas and go for long shots, you will sometimes hear us refer to 'that one guy' who had ABC issues and DEF solution fixed it. Without feedback on the fixes (intricate solutions or stupid fixes like forgetting to hook up a wiring connector), we lose some of that collective knowledge.

In any case, glad to hear you got it whipped.
