Default Idling Problems

When I start my car, after it has been sitting a while, it tries to bog down and stall out. Anyone please help me figure out what this is!

My idle was a little rought at times. And I rememberded I bought a new fuel filter a while ago, so while I was messing with header/steering shaft clearances I went ahead and put that in. The idle got noticebly more stable and smooth. If you havent changed it in a long while I would give it a try.

The same thing was going on with my car. I started it after sitting awhile, bog down and stall. I'd have to keep the idle up like it was starving for fuel. I replaced my fuel filter and IAC motor. It worked for about a week. It started doing i again and then I found out that an injector was clogged. So if you can't diagnose it, start small with the fuel filter. Then go with the IAC motor. If it still doesn't fix it, check your injector pulse. If you don't know how to do that, just take it somewhere.
