Low idle. Causing some issues.
I have a 2000 4R Limited 2WD. It's auto and 3.4, as all limited are. Anyway, a few weeks ago I noticed it start to idle at around 500rpm, sometimes even lower. It used to idle at about 750rpm if I remember correctly. I love this car, but it has 232k miles and needs some money/love put into it. Since the low idle issue, it's been a lot crappier to drive. Starting on hills, I need to use both feet, one on the brake and one on the gas, or else it'll roll back about a foot and a half. On flat ground, it stays completely still when I let off the brake. Which is basically the only thing I like about driving an automatic (car usually crawls forward when i let off brake). I'm probably forgetting some things, but if any of you know a fix to this please let me know. Can't really afford to take it to a shop right now unless it absolutely needs it.
Edit: It also vibrates a bit at idle. And the gas pedal has become very unpredictable starting from an idle.
