Erratic Idle and stall I have a stock, 2000 Camaro SS that starts without much issue, but idles very rough and will stall. If I increase idle RPM with accelerator it does not stall and can be put into gear and driven. However, at red light/stop, you must continue to keep idle up (approx 500/600 RPM). Car has 30K miles on it.
I appreciate thoughts on this issue.

How old is the fuel? Fuel with ethanol spoils in the tank because the alcohol attracts moisture from the air. Your fuel tank has not gotten emptied very often with that low mileage. Could also clog fuel injectors.

Look for vacuum leak via rotted out PCV hose.
