Default sputtering at idle

not sure if this is a big deal but my car keeps sputtering at idle. It will just kind of sputter sputter and maybe drop 50 rpms(not 500, just 50). nothing intense I was just thinking spark plugs. any ideas? a/f ratio at idle is 14.0 off my plx wideband, should I even worry about this?

Are you turbo'd?
Do you have bigger injectors ?
Whats your setup?

Sputtering is prolly not a big deal.

Let's see...

I would first check your plugs, rotor, cap, and wires. If those look good, then do a compression test, uneven compression can cause a sputtering idle.

If your ignition components look good and you have good compression, then I wouldn't worry about it. Maybe pull a little fuel so you aren't idleing at 14.0 AFR.

What is your idle set to anyways?

walbro 255lph, golden eagle fuel rail, sx fpr on 50psi
aem pems 30-1020 tuned boost comp, closed loop

idle is set to 1500 r's
also I was under the impression a/f for idle should be 13.7
