My 1994 Mx3 V6 automatic is having some issues that I'm hoping I can get some advice on. In reading some other threads I've seen similar issues but nothing exactly like mine.
The engine starts up fine and when cold there are no problems. But, similar to other people's issues, once the engine is warm and the RPM's drop below 1k I start to have a very rough idle. It is not consistent, there is no pattern or predictability to it. It just sort of shudders as though its choking, it never dies, just kinda jolts. When it jolts the RPM's dip a bit.
When I give it gas, there is no problem. The engine is not really sluggish by my estimation, it is only problematic when I'm stopped and the RPM's drop below 1k to about 700 RPM's.
I'm going to replace the fuel filter to start. Any other suggestions or ideas about what might be wrong or what I might do to fix it? Thanks.

Could be coolant temperature sensor and/or O2 sensors -
Replace coolant temperature sensor because its easy and cheap - if the problem persists afterwards you can look into changing the O2 Sensors.
