Car has been idling low about 500 600 when I come to stops, but not everytime.

2000 V8 140,00 mIles

Any Ides? Bad Fuel Filter? Dirty Air Filter?
 
mine is always idle at 600, when was the last time you had your plugs changed or checked?

Changed VC Gaskets, Coil 2 and Plugs about 30,000 miles ago.

Mine usually idles at bout 900 - 1000

I am over my oil change by few thousand,, guess that can't help,,lol
 
thats embarrassing, i would have kept that to myself! lol yeah you should probably change that or get that changed.
 
If there isn't a noticeable engine mis at idle, most likely it is caused by the throttle body and iac being clogged up with oil and carbon. A fault in the ignition or fuel system will almost always cause a miss that will be noticeable and in turn cause a low idle. Taking off the intake tube and spraying some throttle body and intake cleaner in the throttle body should clean the blocked air passages and fix a low idle problem.
