Drops Idle when I'm at the light as if it wants to turn off. Oil or battery gauge don't drop, any thoughts would help. I'm personally thinking it might be a dirty fuel filter, possibly plug wires.

What does your car idle at when warm?

Idle control sensor, timing a little low, check cap n rotor "if u got one,not sure.

Fuel filter like $10 so just change it.

When was your last tune up?

don't mean to hijack the post but i've had the same thing happen to me also and i'm wondering how people usually check the vacuum pressure. what/where do i need to hook things up to run the test? would i just use a gauge to read the pressure?
