Idle

My car feels like it's ready to cut out, is my  idle too low?

Model and year along with engine and Fuel type would be well to know as well as 4-5spd or auto.

The "normal" idle for the 4-5spd is @ 760 RPM, whereas the Auto is @ 948rpm.

So I would first say look for vacuum leaks, and eliminate them.  

Then worry about your idle as that could be a timing issue as well as a fuel issue… as in tweaking the idle by-pass on a CIS or DIGI ride, and the idle set on a carbed one.

I've just tweaked a little mate and it seems to of done the trick, it's a 88 gti cab manual, I had my timing belt changed a couple month back but I didn't have a working rev counter so they done it by ear but it seems to be fine now just adjusted it slightly

950 to 1000 rpm is what you are look for.
