This has been an ongoing problem that seems to be getting worse. I searched and found lots of rough idle problems(which i also had and fixed by searching!!) but none like what I am having.
When the car is warm and I am stopping at a light and clutch in at let off the gas the idle drops to 400-500 rpm almost stalls and the catches itself and returns to normal. I can recreate it by just tapping the gas while idleing. I also have a bad neutral saftey switch and can get the car to do this by simply putting it into gear(then the car idles up) and putting it back into neutral at a stop, and the car idle will drop and then return to normal.
Ive tested for vacuum leaks, replaced cap,rotor,wires and plugs(they were due anyway) and adjusted the TPS to solve my rough idle. The car was doing this prior to the TPS adjustment as well. Im assuming its related to the problem of the car "bogging" when there is higher electrical load as well. Not thumping stereo load but simply having the headlights on and a the signals or brake lights or even reverse lights.
Ive read up on some IAC complaint threads but many end without a solution or with conflicting info. I am leaning to a bad IAC but wanted everyones input.
Thanks!
