My car has ben idiling kind of funny the last week or so.While idliling it feels and sounds like some times its almost going to stall but doesn't.Maybe I need to get a tune-up done.

I'd check the plug wires, plugs, and intake boot for vacuum leaks.

a friend of mine had the same problem on his 240sx and it was because of a dirty and leaking fuel injector....when idling is black smoke coming out of the muffler? if so it might be that.

Not entirely sure, i'll have to check.I am going to get a tune-up done on Monday probably though, it's long over-due.

For me, my stalling was a result of that most common problem of a crack in that accordian intake tubing...

Ok the car is actually stalling now at Idle.However it only stalls if I push the break too much at idle.I am going to bring the car in for a tune-up on Monday anyways so they can take a look at it.

For me it was one of a combination of the vacuum hoses, dirty battery terminals, and bad ground wires. One of those fixed my problem, cause I had the same thing happen...
