Default 2004 GS300 issues...not happy.

I have searched and seems I can only get info on cars that are 2000 or older. Past couple weeks my car has developed an idle issue. Most people probably wouldn't even notice it, but I'm **** as hell(why I bought a lexus in the first place, supposed to be the best). I can feel the engine in the steering wheel, door panels, console...pretty much anywhere. Its not horrible, but it hasn't been there the past 1.5 years I have owned it. Makes my dash rattle as well which is another thing I'm not happy with Lexus. Car only has 88K miles, I drive it like a grandma, meticulously maintained. The idle is kind of low sometimes to around 600ish, what is the factory idle on this car and can it be adjusted? I come from the DSM world and bought this car a daily driver that I would never have to open the hood.

Thanks, Kyle

Reset the ECU. That may fix the problem.

To reset the ECU, disconnect the battery for about 3 minutes and then reconnect it.

If you have an aftermarket intake on it and it's learning it this could happen, however if it's stock and you have went through a drastic change in elevation this could happen however if the car is sputtering you might want to check when was the last time you did a tune up on it.....my .02
