idle issue

i have a 91 accord and my idle is very low. it is at like 200 rpms and it stalls on me sometimes. i know that i have at least one bad motor mount which makes my engine move back and forth. but my car runs real rough too. it feels like a real bad message. lol. but can anyone help me please.

I'd check the EGR / throttlebody. Sounds like a valve is jammed open.

werd to the e3, a bad EGR valve or clogged EGR ports will make the car stall at idle. A bad IACV will make the idle fluctuate, right?

IACV and the FITV (fast idle thermo valve) causes a bouncing surging idle ... as if someone were rev'ing the engine.

i changed the IACV because i had the fluctuating problem and now my car doesnt fluctucate since then but my idle is just real low. i will try the egr valve. someone also told me to try to put the idle higher by turning the screw on the throttle body. but idk.
