I will be removing the MAF screen and so I thought I'd ask if there is anything else I should servic
while I'm in that area. Most importantly I have slightly rough idle (jumps from 640-680 on the climate contol screen) and sometimes my RMPs drop almost to stall when I engage the clutch while taking it out of the gear. It has only stalled on me twise, but I thought that I should clean something in the TB or MAF while I'm there anyhow. What can you sugest? I have a cone filter conversion so getting to that MAF whouldn't be too complicated.
Thanks,
PK.

Cleaning the MAF and ICV fixed my dipping idle and stalling
The MAF looked only a bit dirty, but idling improved after cleaning it. The ICV, on the other hand, was totally dirty, and cleaning it made a HUGE difference. I've experienced neither dipping nor stalling since.
Removing the ICV turned out to be a bit tricky - small hands would have helped.

Suggestion: if you clean the ICV (you should, BTW) there is a connector directly below the ICV
as the FAQ mentions that needs to be removed. I used two threaded rods left over from another project to reach down in there and squeeze the clip to pull the connector off. It is kinda tight in there.
I guess I'll have to imporvise. Thanks
