Oh ok because I was wondering if the fpr could be bad,and thanks for explaining it to me

if you have an adj fuel pressure regulator on it, get a fuel pressure gauge and check the pressure and get it set correctly...this is assuming you have a stock/non-chipped ecu. if your ecu is chipped then it sounds like it needs to be tuned.
It didnt fail it passed emissions great,it had failed previously because of a bad cat and in need of a tune up and its all stock just as tech 5 said,thank you for your input and knowledge

You have a stock car

plug it all back in and adjust the throttle screw on the tb not the one on the cable part, but the flat head right in the center above the air tube.... and you srew it out lefty loosie and your golden... also a good throttle clean would be nice while your there...
Thanks man I'm going to try it as soon as I get a chance i'll give it a good cleaning and adjust the screw,how much do you think I should adjust it? Till the idle is strong and healthy I guess?
