Hello, I'm new here. I came accross this site and this Idle issue, because I have had this exact same problem for two weeks now, driving with one foot on the brake and one on the gas when I come to lights and stop signs. Well, the temperature here in CT has now risen above the freezing mark, actually, we've been from -10 to +15 for two weeks now. Low and behold, the problem went away. I am sure everything you suggested here is what I need to do, as for cleaning and checking things, however, I too unplugged the MAF and found the symtoms to go away. Now that it has warmed up to a balmy 25 degrees, the engine is running fine, even with the MAF plugged in. Bottom line, I don't think the contour likes the air temp below 15 degrees, when the rest of the system is most likely not running at optimum. By the way, I am driving a 95 with the V6.
