'96 LX V6 ATX. Upon cold start, the idle RPMs drop after a few seconds and the car sometimes stalls. When it doesn't stall, it overcomensates and revs to 2000-2500 rpm before cycling like that a few times. After 30 seconds it's fine. I can (and have) live with it but I'm preparing to sell the car and I don't want to pass the trash.

I did new intake manifold seals/gaskets and all that [censored] a while back...cleaned the EGR passages, yada yada. What's the usual problem with what I'm assuming is (like most else with these cars) a common issue?
