Slight bog on idle time to time...
Hi everyone,
Since i picked up the car about 4 month now, nothing went wrong with the car and i did a bunch of maintenance and upgrade on the car, including the supercharger maintenance as well as finding out why the loss of power (simple rubber line feeding into the intake unplugged), oil change, water pump, coolant flush etc, etc...
One thing i was not able to resolve is a low idle (around 500 RPM or so) at stop time to time, maybe once or twice a day on a full day use, and goes away with a quick dab or the accelerator. I did change the plugs and the wires as well just as an FYI, but it was doing it prior to the replacement as well.
Any ideas or help would be appreciated.

Ok didn't think of that possibility i guess. By lumpy you mean down a bit? I wonder if a cleanout of the injectors would help or should i look into replacing possibly if that was the case. Thanks for the input!
It gets low and variable, inconsistent, almost like it's going to die but never does.
Blip the throttle and it comes back up.
I've run some Techron through it but it doesn't seem to make a difference.
