Without knowing more about it (specifics, such as model year, car, EFI or carb, DIS, distributorless ignition, etc) I would suggest that you take the car somewhere and have a cylinder balance test performed. This will tell you what cylinder is dead, if you have a misfire. Before doing this, you should check the engine idle with a tachometer and adjust as necessary, following the directions on the emissions label.

Re: Idle Problems
From my experience, my car would sputter and die, when stopping at lights, or stopping period. Changed the EGR and solenoid, and she purred like a kitten. Couldnt even tell the engine was running. Hope this helps.

Re: Idle Problems
Good call silicon212. EGR stands for Exhaust Gas Recirculation system. Its function is to "inject" a small amount of the exhaust gases into the intake to reduce combustion chamber temperature and reduce emissions. Its basically an emissions device. The problem with the EGR system is that it tends to get stuck after years of carbon build-up. This can do all sorts of things to your engine (either due to not enough EGR flow due to being fully closed, or too much EGR flow due to being fully open).
