Default IDLE problem need help quick

ok my car isn't idleing correct it acts like its not getting fuel. It will be idleing fine then it acts like it cuts out for a second but doesnt turn off. couple of days ago it turned off once at a stop light. also the check engine light came on and and it threw 14 and 1 which is 14 IAC (EACV) - idle air control valve and 1 O2A - Oxygen sensor #1 i cleared the codes from the relay and it has not threw a check engine light since i'm thinkin it's either EACV or fuel pump. what do you guys think?

i didnt. it was running fine no problems awhile ago. now, its sputters and idles low. i have one of my vaccums off just so it idles a lil higher so that when im rolling up to a stop light in neutral it doesnt die. if the vaccum is connected it will drop to low in the rpms and die. i dont know whats going on but its pissing me off

Is the car hard to start? A friend had the same problem, the in tank sock at the bottom of the Fuel Pump was really nasty and couldnt suck up fuel quick enough.

haha weve messed with the timing alot and its dead on(ignition and crank). the only timing that could be messed up would be if the timing in the uberdata changed itself or something.

If it came up with a idle air control valve code, and your having problems with it idleing, dont you think that you should at least remove it and see if its dirty. Its only 2 bolts and may just be the problem.

My car was doing that for a while, i checked the dizzy cap and rotor and poof, super oxidized so i changed them and the problem went away. Check the cap and rotor i'm sure that's the issue, and they're cheap from Kragen.
