Cavalier Idle Fluctuates

For full features; Go to Cavalier Idle Fluctuates

I have a 1995 Chevy Cavalier Z24 4 Cyclinder 2.3L. About a month ago the idle started dropping when I would stop the car. It'll drop down like its gonna stall out and then it catches itself. It drives fine and is fine when im moving, it just does it when Im stopped. I took it to a mechanic and my check engine light was on and they fixed a vaccum hose, an O2 sensor and the cam shaft sensor. They also flushed the throttle body, and none of this helped the problem, it still does it......any ideas? Help me! What could this be? posted by  readysetdrink06

its probably a Throttle positioning sensor goin bad. posted by  DARKtEAGLE

what was the code? posted by  tbaxleyjr

im not sure of the code, but they checked the car and said that there was nothing wrong with it and that it was fine, and everytime that it was at the shop it idled fine. i got it back and it ran fine and normal for about 3 days, and yesterday it started idling weird and all messed up again..... posted by  readysetdrink06

1st- Check your IAC Valve
2nd- Check your fuel system (Injectors, Fuel Pump, Pressure regulator)
3rd- Have your ignition checked (check plugs/ wires, ignition module, ignition timing) posted by  cav_rider666
