For the last month or so my car has been having extremely rough starts when its been sitting overnight the entire car would vibrate and it wouldn't go away after it warmed up I solved this problem by replacing one of the vacuum tubes that was sucking itself closed, this lessened the violent vibrations when first starting it.
However i am still having a problem with the idle when i come to a stop the lights flicker and the car feels like its about to stall then it will bring the rpm back up then go down again if i shift from D to N while stopped it feels like it gets worse the whole car feels like its bucking and then it raises the rpms goes away for a second then comes back car shakes. I don't have any problems while driving it only happens when the car is at a complete stop.
This has not made the car stall yet, the car is a 2001 dohc zetec atx
List of things ive checked
1. engine mounts
2. tps (seems fine as car runs worse with it unplugged)
3. maf (cleaned, car runs worse with it unplugged)
4. battery is less than a year old
5. pcv valve (replaced)
6. spark plugs (replaced)
I've checked the forums and haven't found the answer yet, please help i know the car can run smoother than this because it was until now
