My idle is way out of whack. I have read everything here about the subject and followed advice of those before me an just cant figure it out. I live in the heritage park condos.

what have you checked??

ICV - Cleaned twice in the last month
AFM - Replaced three weeks ago
Intake Boot - Checked, checked and rechecked.
Coolant Temp Sensor - Replaced two weeks ago
Cap/Rotor/Plugs - Next on my list
o2 Sensor -Replaced a year ago.

Everything I can think of that would cause a problem like this I have either replaced or checked to exhaustion. I'm not a mechanic and I don't know anything about these cars.
From what I read, I have gathered that these eta's are temperamental when it comes to idle. I do need to replace cap/rotor/plugs and see what that does, but after that, to a shop it will go.
I appreciate the wealth of knowledge available here, but out of frustration, I am ready to pay someone else to do it.

unhook your cold start valve and see how it runs, it may be leaking
