(yes, I searched first)

My car (91 n/a) starts and runs fine under power, but it won't idle. If I let it try to idle, it bounces around 1200 rpm for a second (sometimes), then drops and dies. If I keep my foot on the gas pedal a little bit, it doesn't die but it runs really rough.

This is very annoying (and potentially dangerous), as it dies whenever I come to a stop.

I have no idea what to look for, and even if I did I probably couldn't fix it.

I at least want to narrow it down to something.
My first thought was intake leak. I'm not sure how to find that.
Could it be fuel related?
Electrical?

please help

 

There is alot of info in this site... hope it helps.

I had an idle problem last year, if you look at my previous posts (couple were stupid questions ). I took out my intake and checked my injectors (one was stuck) and changed all my vaccums (one small vacuum was cut). Now I idles like à new car even with my A/C!

The first thing to check are the vacuum lines...

Thanks for the link, I'll look into that.

I've had a new fuel filter sitting in my room for a while. I'm going to try to install it and see if that helps at all.
