Hi guys, at idle my cars idle will drop then come back to life over and over again, I set it at about 1400 rpm to smooth out the idle because of the stiff mounts, but why is the idle dipping. Here is a video.

Did you just install the mounts now? If so did you happen to disconnect any vacuum lines anywhere?

okay i went to autozone and they pullec p1457 which he said was gas cap and i bought one but light went on again. However i figured out why the idle was dipping continuously. I raised the throttle stop screw which let more air in so the car had to compensate by giving it more fuel hence the dip. So i backed that down to spec and now the car is okay however at idle if i rev it, it will go to 800 normal, surge to 1200 and slowly come down to 800 and stay there, What do you think?
