Strange Idle Issue

So I've been experiencing a strange idling issue lately with my car. Other than these random rare occurances, my car seems to be idling completly normal.

Here's what happens. I am approaching a stop, once I come to a complete stop the car idles normally at ~ 700 RPM. After about 5 seconds or so, the idle drops to ~400 RPM and the car bogs down a little bit and then the idle returns back to a normal ~700 RPM idle. This issue only happens once per stop...

Anyone experience a same issue or knows WTF could be going on? Oddly enough, my buddy with a 2003 coupe experiences the same issue.

I have the same issue , i think its bcz of the after market intake , what i feel is that we should tune the car to solve this .

I changed the spark plugs , i cleaned the throttle and i have done the most possible things that could be the resone but still , even i bought new Mass Air Flow Sensors .. so think its all about tunning to regulate air/fuel .

I had this exactly problem several months ago, they told me to clean the throttle bodies. Worked like a charm, car idles smooth ever since. There is a DIY in the forum. Take it to the dealer if you don't wanna get dirty.

thanks, I will attempt to clean the throttle bodies this weekend and post an update.

Hopefully that will solve the issue because this is quite annoying!!!
