hi.
i'm back with another problem with my 1990 s13...
my s13 is an auto(-_-) with 129,***miles. its having trouble starting and even if i get it to turn over, the idle is kinda rough... the car runs fine when i rev it over 2000rpm but kinda dies out below 1000rpm(idle). i thought its my fuel pump but not too sure... if you guys have any idea what i can do it would be really helpful!
thank you.

try n check the basics fuel spark and air...maybe you need plugs and/or wires. could be a sensor like a maf or temp.

A leak after the maf can cause problems. Could possibly be the problem to ur stalling.

best way to clean is to get a maf specific cleaner. DO NOT USE CARB CLEANER OR BRAKE CLEANER.

get a piece of wire and touch one end to the intake mani and and the other end to the metal on your wheel well. If it clears up, check and clean your grounds
