Default Idle Problem.. need help

Hey guys, im having a couple problems w/ my gt. my camshaft sensor went bad and so did the alternator... i replaced them both , but now im starting to notice a difference in my idle. It runs great and everything but when its at a dead stop it seems like it wants to die on me but doesnt ( it idles kinda low in my opinion). its at around 600 -700 rpms. My exhaust sounds a lil quiter too. idk what it is. . . Any suggestions??! thanks

Oh and i have to replace my pinion seal cause its leaking... THis wouldnt be the reason my rpms are changing right??

Pinion seal definately has nothing to do with it.Try cleaning your IAC and TB.Also try unplugging your battery for awhile to reset the memory.

yea I agree,I misread and thought you said it was stumbling.If its a steady 600-700 you are fine.
