Mine's been idling low, like 400-450, makes it a little rough, but it doesn't stall or anything.

Sometimes these things are hard to track down and you may make it worse.

Maybe the Idle Control Valve is having issues or a vaccum leak somewhere?

Everything on it works perfectly, all plastics are there and in good condition, the only problem is a small dent in the rear cladding and
a cracked drivers side taillight.

Here's a Driver's side TAIL LIGHT on ebay.....

Price seems pretty reasonable. It's off a 2000.
