I tried adjusting my idle with the screw and the one on the throttle body so I idles around 1200. When I put the car in drive it drops low to about 600 to about 700. How can I get my car to idle at about 900 and when I put it in drive it stays relativity close to that. What a leak in the cat cause this?
 
First, before adjusting your BISS screw did you check for boost/vacuum leaks?

Second, before adjusting the BISS screw did you ground the diagnostics pin with a scanner?

Third, have you checked the resistance on you ISC to make sure it's functioning properly?
 
Make sure your closed throttle sensor (top of throttle body) isn't screwed in too far. That was my proble
. Lot of info on here under "idle surge" and "high idle"
