Answer 1

When an engine is called to be idling it means the engine is running at its slowest speed without pushing the accelerator pedal. normally it is between 800 and 900rpm depending on the vehicle

the carburettor regulates the idle speed

But note there is Base idle, normal idle and fast idle, but i should imagine you are asking about normal idle and thats what i have described above

Answer 2

Idle- the cars engine is running at its lowest speed in RPMS. Usually anywhere from 600to900rpms

When a car is idling it is either in park or neutral sitting still and the engine is running.

The carburator is sucking in air and the gas/air mixture gets pulled through the intake manifold into the heads then into the cylinders of the engine.

they say the car is idling.. what does that mean??

It's sitting still with the engine running or 'idling'.

what does the carburetor do regarding this..???

As little as necessary. All it does, a carburetor, is mix 'intake' air and fuel. Newer cars are all fuel injected, however they still idle while sitting still.
