I assume by your saying your car idles alot, you mean it idles high. A new idler pully would'nt help in such a case. Its main job is to guide and keep tension on your belt. It's probably your idle sensor or a vacuum problem (vacuum hose loose ect.) It could be due to other problems but those are the 1st things I would check.

It doesn't idle on the RPM, but on the MPH scale. i thought it was the injectors, but it wasn't.
