That is my RPM hand at idle. I've replaced my IAC (brand new) and put a used EGR on. My car is still sputtering like it wants to cut out (refer to movie) and I honestly don't know wtf is wrong with it. Only thing I can think of is to replace the entire throttle body, EGR, and put on my new IAC. Someone help me cuz I'm sick of driving my brothers car! https://www.thegalantcenter.org/style_emoticons/default/sad.gif

Back out the BISS screw to raise the idle up and that should at the least make it driveable if not cure the problem.

Check your o2 sensors my friend.

Had the O2 sensors tested, they are fine. Mechanic friend say he might think the EGR pipes are clogged with carbon or I have vacuum leak. Should I just take it to the dealer (who takes forever and sucks ass) and have them look at it?

I bought my MAS from Brandon for like 10 bucks, https://www.thegalantcenter.org/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif ... go to a junkyard or look on ebay, you can find it really cheap

Tried to diff MAS's, still nothing changed. Put my old EGR on and took the other one back.

Maybe there is a problem with fuel distribution or it could be a bad injector, well it sound to me like a bad injector. And they cost a shitload of dough.
