Default Low idle when hot

Motor:d17a1 automatic, 120k


Now it always happens when i'm coming to a complete stop (ex. red light, stop sign, traffic lol)


When hot, the car normally idles around ~500rpm. I wanna note that the car doesn't die all the time about 1/5 of the time. But the other 4/5 the idle goes below its normal ( to about 100rpm) and chokes its way back up to ~500rpm or with the help of me adding gas.




Somethings ive been thinking of doing but anything would be helpful.


-Change Air Filter
-Clean IACV Valve
-Open the Idle Screw up




Thanks in advance!

500 rpm is low already, you should be at 700+/- 50 rpm. First thing to do is check for codes. If no codes, clean or replace the IACV and clean the trottlebody. A new filter isn't a bad idea.
