Default rpm's drop low at idle and stall.

Has anyone had a problem with their rpms dropping low
at idle? Earrlier on today I had to keep my foot on the gas whever I came to a stop sign or the car would stall. Other than that the car ran well but would die at idle. I just had the car out and the problem had disappeared as the car started and idled like a champ. Any ideas as to what caused this low idle problem???


Thanks.

ok what are you using for engine management? what you need to do is increase your rolling idle by maybe a couple hundred rpm and should be good to go
