trust me man… its your IACV… Idle Air Control Valve… its sticking so its not allowing the proper amount of air/fuel ratio… remove it and clean it or Spray carb cleaner in the right hose branching off your intake and even if im wrong youve wasted 5 bucks on a spray can and spent 5 minutes and cleaned it anyways… ---

have you checked your TPS or even try adjusting the idle so it sits at 700 ---

Where would this be for a ka? But regardless, my idle shouldnt drop to a point where its gonna stall when im coming to a stop, and not to mention it’ll bounce…200 - 700, than back to 200 than up to 700…etc etc. > [@CrypticNissan"](#): > > have you checked your TPS or even try adjusting the idle so it sits at 700 ---

ok heres a vid of the problem… 1. yes its a crappy phone video but clearly shows whats happening 2. yes my speedo doesnt work…im aware 3. skip to about 1:20 You’ll notice when i start to slow down and come to a stop what happens. When it drops sometimes it goes farther than that and at times would actually stall. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q3qqp4sXXK4](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q3qqp4sXXK4) ---
