The other day I noticed my esv idle's kinda low. It's been sitting for about 2months, anyways it idles about 600rpm(normal???), but when I put it in gear it drops kinda low. When its in drive I can give it some has and when I let off the idle drops low and j think the truck gonna stall. It did this before and lived with it but now I'm selling it and would like to fix this issue. What you think it can be. 2003 escalade esv, Idk when the last tune up was as well as fuel filter change.

I'd be taking a look at your throttle body to see if it's dirty. When my truck acts like that, I usually clean out my throttle body and it's all good after that!

I totally agree with rivieraracing. Sea foam is the best. Clean out your intake and go for a nice ride to clean it out!
