There's something in the dashboard which is rattling, something in the door, the engine can literally be seen shaking. My guess is that it's not designed to dampen a 500rpm idle. So I keep my foot on the gas for 30 seconds or so to keep the idle at ~1000 and it tends to be okay after that. I'll have to get to checking that ISV again when I have a weekend.

LOL. That doesnt sound stable to me. Maybe you mean stable is in your car doesnt stall? I was under the impression that the idel is suppose to be a bit higher when cold and then drops to about 950 when warm. Not 500. 500 is barely running. Thats why the car is doing that. My car does that. Hate it. When your car is warm how smooth is the idle at 950rpm? If it isnt smooth humming away. I would check the ISV. Checking the ISV is very easy. Takes two seconds. When I clamped mine off I could not believe how much smoother the idle was. Theres also a diagnostic plug too. Where you can disable the ISV.
