KA why is my car running like shit?
stock KA my idle bounces up and down under 1000rpms....lights dim in and out when this happens. It was never a big deal but for the last week the RPMs will die off and it even stalls sometimes when i put it into neutral. this happens very rarely but its a pain in the ass...the bouncing idle is pretty constant. Any ideas?

don't think it would be his alternator as long as he can start it back up after a stall

check grounds, connections, wiring for sure

Search NOOB!!!

haha j/k, check your maf like stated above, also make sure to check your usual tune up items, plugs, wires ect. IF none of these are it, then i'd try taking off your IACV and spraying it down with some carb cleaner, that fixed my stumbling idle.
