possible ground issue?

Is it possible that a bad ground would cause my idle to hunt and stall? This just began to happen and when i watched my voltage it seemed to fluxuate as the car began to stall. If it isn't possible than i will try fool around with the intake screw. Thanks for all your help.

IT might, but usualy people tend to think that little grounding causes the 3k problem. My dad had this problem with his car, he ended up replacing his Air intake thermosenor, sence then the car hasent stalled yet.

Your voltage is fluctuating because as the car begins to stall the rpm drops and therefore the alternator doesn't put out as much current. You're stalling due to some other problem, the voltage is dropping merely because of the very low rpm.
