cars shouldn't idle at 1k rpm. So your cars been running like shiet since you got it and never bothered to look it up ??? but now that it goes below 500rpms and shakes and wants to stall now there is an issue :eek3: ??? Check you MAF,IAC and TPS, any loose vac hoses can cause idle to fluctuate and last timing. Not gonna go into specifics as to what to look for but these parts are easily spotted and you can get your hands on them fairly easy to check and replace.
