Default Idle Issues, again....

Update!! More idle problems...

My car is sputting at idle. My idle ranges from 200 to 1500, its not surging up and down up and down, but it varies. Its idle rough, and it dips down to like 200 and almost stalls out. I can hear it puttering out the exhaust. My steering wheel seems to shake when it idles and it just feels really rough. Im so confused!!! Im not sure what is causing this or what to do. Possible things causing this:

Car out of Time
Running too Rich (which I am)
Vaccum Leak

Im sure there are more but thats all i can think off at the time. PLEASE help me figure out this annoying problem!!!!

Ive tried cleaning my iacv, no use. Help!!!

Have you checked your Throttle Position Sensor? I know my car was having erradic idle issues and it ended up being related to the tps.

Also does your car idle high when it is cold? If it gets messed up even when it is cold you might want to check out your fast idle control valve.

could possibly be timing... does the car drive like it should, or does it not feel right while driving as well?

agreed. if its still running rough while driving it, its probably internal.

things to go over:

throwing ANY codes?
check map sensor (make sure its on a REAL vacuum line)
TPS sensor could be screwed (swap throttle bodies real quick, might show difference)
IAC valve could be clogged or need to be screwed in and then backed off 1/4 turn.
