First I'd like to say I'm still new so I have no idea when it comes to the engine itself running
My 98gs has a weird idle, and when I start her up she idles at about 1300rpm until warm and drops about a hundred . (I think it idles higher but still drops a few hundred after warm)

What confuses me is if I turn on any like defroster, high beams, any type of thing it drops about 100-200rpm.

I have a high idle and idk How to fix it. I will read about vac leaks and see if I have any. thanks for helping a newbie! :)

Also when stopped and idling sometimes it jumps between a few hundred rpm. I saw a slight cut in a spark plug wire but I doubt it'd be that without throwing a code. Any ideas anyone?


Random question (I found answers for the 4G but not 420a)
How do I get my needles on the gauge cluster to become accurate again? I'm replacing my tack, speedo, temp and fuel gauge due to dead lights.)
 
Well your problem is not that different from others actually and the exact thing was happening to me and I didn't have a CEL I changed the isc and fixed the problem and please change your wires if one has a small crack, cut or whatever you will have future problems for sure.
On side note also could be your alternator but I doubt it.

Ok so I looked and could only find iac problems for the non turbo. No isc though. Possibility that gs/rs don't? Or just near impossible to find?
