my car a 95 Geo Prism seems to idle low. sometimes I start the car it immediatly dies. takes several starts and reving the motor before I can ever put it in drive. I have done all the routine maintenance, new fuel and air filte, new plugs, wires, rotor, rotor cap. I do routine oil changes.

NO. check your idle air control for binding or dirty. if you have no idea what i am talking about, take it to a mechanic

Is there any hesitation or chugging sort of noise coming from the engine? if so, you the two have a terrible misfire or a lifeless cylinder. If no longer, it somewhat is in all probability in hassle-free terms a bad motor mount. they only fee $30 new for many automobiles and in hassle-free terms take 10-20 minutes in line with mount to change.

Your car is totally computer controlled, there is no idle adjustment. You may be able to reposition the TPS (Throttle Position Switch) they have some degree of adjustment.

Sure go ahead and try it.
But count the amount of turns on the screw.
Sometimes by doing this you will get an adverse affect.
You fix one problem and cause another, normally you should never have to make this adjustment.

If it only happens when you start the car not when its already running then idle is not you re problem. Look instead at the cold start circuit. Is it working?
