hey guys i got a little situation here. i got a 92 s13 and when i start up the car, especially when it is cold, the idle wants to drop to zero but i counter that with tapping the gas pedal a few times. when it's warm not so bad but still need to tap gas pedal at least once. other than that once the car is warmed up it doesn't do that so badly. at least i don't need to play gas pedal dancer. could that be my idle air control valve? i'm all open for input
