Hi guys i recently noticed that in the cold morning

My car turns on but sputters off and it will keep doing it so i start adding light revs to like 1700-1800 but i can still feel it
Want to die.

I then start driving and can feel the rpms sputter more and whenever my clutch is in or in neutral my
Car will drop to like 100-300 rpm. I then start driving and it goes away after like 5 min,

My car never does this in warm summer only cold mornings,
I think its the iacv ?

And is it bad to drive while it does that cuz its running lean or somethin?

What year is your car?? When was the last time you tuned it up? Changed the air filter, distributor cap & rotor, spark plugs & fuel filter?? Ever SEAFOAM your intake??

Chances are you throttle body & IAV valve are dirty & just need a good cleaning. If you change out your air filter, distributor cap & rotor, spark plugs & fuel filter, tune up your car & Seafoam your intake, you'll notice a drastic improvement in how your car idles & runs.

Hope this helps....
