    unstalbe idling..

    It just happened recently and I don't know what's goin on... the idle is a little unstable.. it would go from 700-1000 and sometimes fluctuates back and forth from 600-800.. I'm assuming some vacuum leaks but I just recently did some hose replacing.. mainly vacuum hoses.. So I was wondering if there's another reason for this unstable idling...

          Icv is idle control valve. its located on the back of the intake right next to the firewall.

          to correct idle surging problems It SOMETIMES helps to clean it with brake cleaner, or carb cleaner.

          try a search for m42 ICV cleaning or something.

            My guess is still a vacuum leak.
