bad idle

this problem started a week ago. the rpm on the car is jumpin and it seems like the car wants to stall but it wont. when i turn on the a/c on the car the problems seems to go away. i already changed the pcv valve, sparkplug wires, fuel filter, distributor cap and rotor, and the problem is still there. today i got a egr valve at a junk from a 96 model and i didnt see any difference when i put it in the car. has anyone had this problem before?

Get an O2 Sensor. That might be the problem.

Re: bad idle

no an O2 sensor is not going to give it a bad idle!! If he had a Bad O2 sensor he would have a code for it. I am assuming he doesn't have a check engine light. If he does he would know if it was an O2 , If he has a code Po304 Cyl#4 miss fire , then thats definitely a Intake gasket
