Default anyone have this problem??

ok well my car only does this occasionally and i think it either the oil pump is about to **** out on me or the spark plugs are crap, well the car when i come to a stop like a hard stop or relatively hard the rpms go down to 600 or little lower and then she settles out at around 700-750 rpms, i dont know what the problem is and i want to know if anyone knows or has had this problem??

What would the oil pump have to do with it idling down that low? whats your oil pressure when you come to a stop like that? Is your car throwing any service engine lights?

nope no ses lights, i threw one three weeks back it was an emissions thing. could it possibly be a bad 02 sensor since i do have a cutout on stock manifolds and all that jazz. but i am gonna be doing a header install here soon and am gonna replace the plugs so hopefully that will help.

Sounds like a vacuum issue to me. What kind of cam do you have in there?

stock cam, could it possibly be my air pump going out bc that thing is annoying otherwise i have noticed a slight tick on the drivers side when i was coming out of the automatic car wash i heard a tick right when i went to clean my front left tire, could it be the check valve is crapping out on me in the air system?? i am gonna be taking it out soon since i am getting pacesetter headers in the mail hopefully this weekend. i know its not a lifter or a pushrod i dont think those would cause this and i have no power loss so there has to be something fudgin up. im thinking its the spark plugs since my car is on 92000 miles, possibly my IAT sensor and MAF sensor are dirty, i am gonna put seafoam in the gas tank and then clean the sensors and see what that does for me this weekend.
