I have a 1991 180sx with the redtop SR20DET. I am having problems with the idle. it seems that when i let my car sit while running the idle will drop and this causes the car to shake. Eventually it will stall but first it seems to correct itself. Also, once I start driving it boggs a bit then accelerates. I find that it decelerates very quickly while driving as if it is about to stall.

I have changed my maf, and my fuel filter. I live in a fairly cold climate and has recently started warming up outside so now my car is running a closer to usal running tempurature. I will be taking it to a shop, but i would like to at least have an idea of what they should be looking at. I should note that when it was really cold out by belt would squeal, so i am not ruling out my altenator.
