Exclamation Help Idle problem

I have an 02 cavy 2.2 and my idle seems choppy. I'll come up to a stop light, or sign and if i wait for 10 secs or longer the idle will start to jump around, from like 500 to 700 back down to like 300 and so on. I put new plugs in it 6 months ago along with air filter and also ran some injector cleaner through it recently and i still get the problem. I was wondering if it could be the wires, cap, rotor, or plugged fuel filter?
thanks for the help.

Re: Help Idle problem

possibly the Idler air control valve? Had that happen in my dad's truck. Same Symptoms.

Re: Help Idle problem

Probably either fuel flow or ignition related. Crappy coils, bad connection to the battery, cheap plugs, bad wires, clogged injectors, fuel filter, somthing along those lines.
