Default engine dies at idle

MY00. No cel. Starts and drives fine. When pulling to a complete stop my idle would drop to 100-200rpm and stutter/shake. Sometimes it dies and sometimes it goes back to its normal idle. Starts up fine when it dies. I know for sure my motor mounts are done but could that be it?

Try cleaning your IACV, there is a guide somewhere on here.

Sorry for the late response. If your issue isnt fixed i would check out the O2 Sensor. Mine did the exact same thing, when i let off the gas the rpm would drop to 1-2 bars ( 200 -400rpm ) and either die or go back up. Found out it was my o2 sensor that died, replaced it and the idle never drops that low after letting off the gas.

I would just clean the intake throttle with the injection or carburator cleaner spray...
