My 5th gen occasionally stutters at idle... usually during a long traffic jam... what are some of the problems leading to this??

 

A leak in a vacuum source would be my first guess

What do your RPMs drop to when at idle? And how long of a traffic jam are we talking about?

 

STUTTERING STANLEY STUTTERING STANLEY!!!!!!

IACV maybe?

More than often its the IACV valve. People running cold air intakes who dont clean their air filters when they are supposed to run into to this prob

 

Could also be your fuel relay. Above the fuse box. Use some silicon spray and clean the connector or maybe buy a new one

 

well, i cleaned the fast idle valve not too long ago, if that's what you guys mean...

and yea, my rpm drop to almost zero and then picks bad up.... could it be fuel filter??? i haven't change it, and i got around 100k km on the car
