I feel we have the same problems happening w/ our cars.

what I have changed is..

IACV
ECU
Battery
Plugs/Wires/Dist. (replaced as part of maint, but still did NOT correct this particul;ar problem)
removed (stolen

) stereo system.
cleaned battery posts / wire clamps.

Ill take a look at all that thank you

Maybe i wasn't clear? sorry if i wasnt. What I meant is that i changed all of those things and IT STILL does the bad idle / sometimes low voltage.
