Default Idle issues

Hey all! Driving down the road and get to a stop light. Car idles down to almost stall then evens out to normal. Sometimes it putters to almost stall and lights on dash flash but then evens out. Sometimes it stalls but starts right back up. Don't know if related but sometimes will turn over and stall like flooded but if I catch accelerator just right I can power through the "stall-idge" and it evens out to normal. Any suggestions would be great. Doing it more now it's warmer (Texas). Just replaced the Fuel Relay and it didn't help. Lew

I'm no expert by any means. but i do know you can be helped alot better if you tell us what car and motor you're referring to?

could be sensors, throttle linkage, kickdown cable, lack of air, timing or fuel pressure.

Awesome! Sorry about that. 90 CRX Si with stock D16A6 motor. Checked throttle linkage and everything seems to be working good with no binding or extra slack.

when was the fuel filter changed last? how many miles on it? Fuel filters are often an over-looked item and they are cheap and easy to replace.
