check your EGR valve - my car would stumble and then die - cleaned the EGR valve and all was happy again 92 SC400 - must take off all thre peices - the hoses on the left and right side are water hoses so be prepared - good luck

might want to check your grounding and get a grounding kit. stereo may have messed up electrical system some. also could be your alternator is struggling if you stereo eats big power.

unlug the power wire of the stereo at the battery, reset the ecu, if it still has a bad idle after that its not the stereo. optima yellow top battery? i recently cleaned the throttle body, and it idles much smoother, try it, your supposed to clean it anyway every know and then. good luck. also try searching " ruff idle"
