I believe my car may have this same problem, but it only does it when it is hot and humid outside, and even then it only does it when the engine is cold-ish. Should I have my mechanic clean out the valve? The O2 sensor was replaced about 4-5 weeks ago, if that has anything to do with it.
The car has almost 80,000km on it. Not sure what that translates into miles, but I would assume around 50,000miles.

kasmankk said:jsut to share something about idleing problem. I have this problem also. I did the egr valve cleaning. it did not help. I guess because it was not clogged. Next i took out the idle solenoid valve, guess what???? the plunger was stuck and couldn't open the air passage when energized. I cleanned the carbon build up (i guess from EGR) with carb cleaner and brass brush. Idling is better now.
