Idle speed

This may be a dumb question for some of you, but here goes.

I would like to increase the idle speed on my '01 Vert. It is only at 500 now, and around town it seems a little slow.

Thanks,

AL

You will need tuning software like HPTuners.
Or a shop that has it.
Cant tune 'em with a screwdriver anymore

tuner

Yeah, I've long since given up on screwdriver adjustments. How much do these tuners cost? I've heard them mentioned many times in the forum. Can you make a stock car run much better?

Thanks,

AL
