Check for vacuum leaks, clean your TB, reset your ECU, take two of these and call us in the morning ;-)

t/b, go to auto store and get t/b cleaner, and rags. directions will be on spray can.
reset ecu, unplug the neg terminal for 10 minutes (while your cleanin t/b)
good luck

sometimes if your fuel filter is really dirty the car will not idle well and will die if you don't keep it reved. if after you clean the tb and reset the computer it does not get fixed try replacing the filter and see if that helps.

and if none of that works then it might be time for new valves. One of the valves may not be opening and you might be losing compression in one of your cylinders but just pray its one of the above.

if ya ddid a search, all your ?s would be answered.
fuel filter on 95 is way down under the washer resevoir. hades omega has got good pics of it.(maybe in motor mount collection)
you;ll have to take out the battery, intake, washer resevoir, and whatever else is in your way...to get at it.
good luck

Also, if that doesn't fix the prob, the idle might actually be set too low... that's what happened to me not too long ago. You can have someone change the idle setting.

I'm having the same problem, mostly when it's cold out. After the car's been running for a bit, it's good. Gonna check the fuel filter this weekend, hopefully that'll fix my car too.

yeah ignition is another good place to look. start with plugs and plug wires.

How much the fuel filter cost you? Anyone recommend the K/N fuel filter?
