I posted this in the n/a section but no one ever looks in there and I kinda need help fast.

For the past few days my idle would get to the point where it would drop and kill the engine. I would adjust the idle screw and the idle would go up. But after a while it would drop. I think I have adjusted it atleast 5 times maybe more over the last 3 days. Anyone know how to troubleshoot this problem?

Does it do this when the engine is cold or hot? Mine used to idle like garbage after starting the car with the engine already warm (coming back to it after shopping). I ended up just giving it a bit of throttle for ~30 seconds and it stopped. I'm not sure what I fixed but the problem seems to have gone away.
