Sry for startin another thread on idle problems, but i readed through the others and the scenario was little different from mines, ok, my car was running fine until just recently, the car idle very rough at stops as if its bout to die, and sputters alots. Also now the gas pedal is kinda sticky or is hard to push down. Past month i just change the plugs, pcv valve and also just poured in some injector cleaner. Im havin trouble locating the problem. Any help would be appreicated.
 
Try testing the Idle Speed Controller electrically, remove the ISC and spray throttle body cleaner in the hole the ISC was in. My car was having a tough time idling and would stall without a pattern, I replaced the ISC and that didn't do anything. I tried cleaning the throttle body and still had the problem, but when I cleaned the ISC hole the problem went away. For me the problem was probably gunk built up in the idle circuit making it difficult for the ISC to do its job.
I would also clean the inside of the throttle body, the plate could be getting caught on the build up inside the barrel.
Hope this helps, good luck.
