I have a '98 DOHC 5spd neon... everything works fine except my idle speed seems to be really screwed-up!!! it ranges from 500rpm-2000rpm!!! Also, it OFTEN drops below 500rpm and stalls on me, ESPECIALLY when the motor is COLD (like when i first start it, it will stall unless i keep my foot on the pedal and give it a bit of gas for about 30secs)... not so bad once the motor is hot, but does it occasionally (like when i come to an intersection and step on the clutch!)

Any ideas what the problem could be????

1st things first...how's the fuel filter...2nd thing, make sure all your vacuum lines are good and intack...3rd to look into would be the EGR valve...
