Default idling rough

so my car will idle at around 800 and then it will rev up 100 rpm or so and somtime drop. the shop i went to told me it was the aftermarket o2 sensor so i replaced it with a factory one and it still does the same thing. i have a a/f gauge and it spikes from rich to lean when the rpm jump. and thought anything will help thanks

Does this happen all the time or only when cold?

Default RE: idling rough

could be a few things...

air leak in the air intake (after the MAF)
MAF needs cleaning
throttle body needs cleaning

It could be lots of things. I would check all air connections, boost and vaccum.

Maybe reflash the tune too.

Default RE: idling rough

that was one person, dex i believe...

one of the sensor wires was broke (or it wasn't connected,
can't remember) and it was causing the car to run extremely lean....

that was the story as i recall it.....
