Slow acceleration from a stop

[Fyter187]

When my car is at a full rest, and then I go to move forward or reverse, it takes a second or so for the car to pick up some speed. It picks up a bit, but not much. After it gets to a certain point it accelerates much better. It my idle too low? Because I also noticed that when I release the brake, my car hardly moves if at all.

um yeah. how about u at least tell us WHAT YEAR, MODEL, AND ENGINE U HAVE? that would help a lot.

[Fyter187]

Well excuse me. Where are my manners? How dare I not know how this damn thing works. Well, if you want to know: it is a 1987 Camaro RS 2.8L V6.

[Fyter187]

How do I go about increasing the idle?

[nightrider]

don't be an ass here. people would be really quick to tell you to go find help somewhere else.

You don't even tell us where your car idles as of now...

and i doubt your car would randomly lower its idle speed in terms of adjustment. If that is what the problem is, i'd clean out the IAC

ok, a few things that can effect your idle are : timing belt (stretch) distributor advanced/retarded, IAC, tps. WHen was the last time the car had a tune up? how long has this been going on for?
