Recently I have been having intermitent stalling only when it is cool outside in the morning. My idle also fluctuates quite a bit only in the morning, even after it has come up to full operating temperature. I suspect the AIV, as when I changed the air filter there was a black spot on it right where the AIV air induction line was. Any other ideas as to what it could be? I have replaced my TPS sensor (yes I adjusted it), and changed the plug wires, cap, and rotor. There is no fluctuating when I wiggle any of the wires on the harness. I will check out the AIV, and ignition timing today after school.

check the coolant temperature sensor. the connection could be bad, and it causes the idle to go whacky.

Well crap... now if I wiggle any of the front harness connectors, the engine almost dies. Guess I will be rewiring them this weekend. Should I just buy new harness connectors for most of the front sensors?
