Doesn't sound like the Idle Air Control Valve; when mine went bad it typically raised the revs (and caused them to oscillate). But, what goes up must come down and I guess there's no reason that it couldn't be causing your problem. Pretty easy to clean, that solves problems temporarily. Small box on the side of the intake manifold, 2 hoses going in the top (coolant) a plug in the back that's a bit tricky to get at and 3-4 bolts (can't remember, sorry). Get some carb cleaner, clean it out, put it back the way you found it and see what happens.
Hope this helps!

Hate to be a pain, but any chance of a more descriptive title. Some thing like "Car bucking and stuttering". It ain't that hard and it helps people with a similar problem find this thread now and in the future.

That's just my take on things (and by no means a personal attack on your advice, gomarlins3).
Also, as Aus said... a more descriptive title would help "the experts" decide if they want to waste their time reading a particular thread. To the OP, you may want to edit your original post and change the title to help your cause.

Anyways, I can unplug the map while the car is running and it starts to idle really rough and dies. So I would think the MAP is working correctly. Fuel filter maybe?
