Engine STALLING at idle

anyone else have this problem. Car has only 8k miles on it, and have had it for about 2-3k with all the mods listed in my signature.

Anyone else have this and how can I fix it. The idle is all over the place, and sometimes stalls.

THOUGHTS???

Run a check on all wiring harness connections. Maybe Oxygen sensor? Good luck...

rodH, I don't see your mods listed and they might help with the diagnosis. But start checking for vacuum leaks.

Had this happen on my maxima right before I sold it for the z, turned out it was the idle air control valve and it was having the exact same problem you are describing...

I was going to say that it could be the IAC valve, but then I saw that the OP only has 8k miles on his Z. The IAC usually starts acting up on older higher mileage vehicles, mostly due to carbon build up or age related.
