How do you adjust the idle on a 1994 C220? My idle is very low it's at 500 RPM. The car kinda vibrates a bit because of it. Thanks!

whats wrong with a 500rpm idle? I thought that's what it was supposed to be. When my MAF messes up the engine revs between 500 and 800 rpm to compensate and pulls on the transmission causing vibration.

500rpm idle is quite normal when in D. Neutral should be
between 500 - 700. Perhaps something else is wrong.
