you can raise the idle in drive if you have xcal 2. maybe clean your mass air meter or maybe a vacume leak?? I am sure someone will be able to help you out.

"I didn't realize it had stalled" Alzheimers? Didn't feel it in the brake pedal..or red lights on dash or nothing? Turn off the radio
I get'em...
Less than 500 rpm's...Wow!...That IS low
ALOHA
BTW: Are you using an oiled air filter? If so...clean the MAF...

Should be around 900-1200 rpms I think.

Air filter clogged up. MAF dirty, spark plug(s) fouled, the usual suspects I would think if there's no CEL illuminated.
i was having this problem as well for awhile. what i did was cleaned out the iac valve with carburetor cleaner because it was sticking. whenever you turn the wheel the idle is supposed to raise slightly to compensate for the load you are putting on the motor but since my iac wasnt working properly, it wouldnt do that so it would sometimes die.
I need more COWBELL!
That's too high for a stock MM. It should be that high if he has a tune though. 1200 is way too high for an idle though.Originally Posted by ChiTownMaraud3r

My park idle is 850 and my drive idle is 750 thats perfect for me. Check your intake tube, make sure its clamped onto the MAF and throttle body. I had this come lose on me and I had hard starts and a stalling issue.

Yeah thats more of my stock cold start idle rpm now that I notice. Once it is warm and in drive it goes to about 800.

800 seems low for an idle, why is it so low? Our tahoe is about 1200, my brothers 5.0 explorer is about 1000, infact i dont think ive ever been in anything that idles at 800rpm's Even my go karts idle at over 2k but thats entirely different i know.
Why so low? Is it to get that blub blub sound?

Well when you crank it up it shoots up to what like 1400-1500rpm?, then stays around 1100-1200 until it warms up and creeps down, then switching into drive makes it def under or around 900 rpm, I guess it may even depend on the brand of gasoline you're using which can make a bit of a difference.
I wouldn't want an idle at 1200 when warm. Would be too revved for my liking. Reminds me of a dirt bike with the choke on when its warm.

Well thats how all our GM's are. guess i shoulda said thats with A/C on, with off its about 1k even, but ive never had a car stall, my marauder hasnt yet but it seems like it could at any time. Oddly it doesnt. But it does sound really good
