Default Rough Idle

Just bought a 95 Integra and noticed that the car idles kinda rough. The car accelerates fine w/o hesitation, but everytime I'm at a stop, the car will idle rough and seems like it wants to die. Any suggestions? The car has been parked for a few months and has only 89k miles. Could this be bad gas, spark plugs, fuel filter, pvc? The previous owner says he just had the timing belt changed not too long ago.

Thanks.

you could try cleaning out your throttle body and intake manifold and see if taht helps any...

make sure your iacv sensor is plugged in...clean ur iacv, clean the fitv, also take off the intake and check in the tb make sure nothings clogged up in there.

iacv or as some say aicv is your air idle control valve. does your idle jump???? if it does the aicv is most likely the culpret

before you do anything, tune up the beast. Fuel filer, plugs, cap, rotor, airfilter (unless ur upgrading). then if its still bad clean out the throttle body, and other stuff posted up top. should solve atleast 80% if not the entire problem!

thanks for the replys. can you tell me where the aivc plug is located. i changed my plugs, pvc and cleaned my TB this weekend and things only got worse. now it starts, sits there for a bit and dies. no response when i step on the gas. i put the old plugs back in and it does the same and dies. is the correct spark plug gap 0.44 for a 95 Special Edition (non VTEC)?

thanks again...
