i cleaned the plugs pretty good when i got it. i did discover the valve cover gasket was leaking down a bit into two of them.
after your post, i replaced the plugs and wireset, but this hasn't changed the condition of the way it runs. Im doubtfull that a new coil will solve anything(but i dont know a whole lot) and id probably replace the iac before this, since there doesnt seem to be an issue with it.
can the coil go intermittant and cause this condition?
my next steps are to begin replacing things like the iac, coil? but im hesitant since i really believe a guru will have the correct solution(s) - maybe pending more nfo?

id like to add that after the car warms up, the problem almost worsens, since its at a lower idle, so putting it into drive makes it lower still.

Also in the morning when i come out to start it, it wont start till 3rd or 4th try - before that it starts than drops out some seconds later. I can do the multiple starts, or i can put my foot on the gas for 15 seconds or so untill it will idle on its own.
please, any comments or tips greatly appriciated.
