Default Advice needed.

I haven't driven my car for two weeks. Now after warm up, my idle is not stable. It goes up and down 1100 rpm - 300 rpm. sometimes it stalls. My Chinese OBD II cable does not want to work, so I can't Vag-com it.
Anyone had this problem before?

Sounds like vacuum leak or fuel pressure just impulse response.

Default Just before the intake manifold on the back

It's a 12 VDC pulsed item that has a parallel path with the main air flow that controls idle speed.

I would also search tyresmoke.net, I think there was similar problem there or here.<ul><li><a href="http://www.tyresmoke.net/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php?Cat=">Search tyresmoke from this page, don't ask me why</a></li></ul>

Default It's easy to clean.

Three nuts, if i remember correctly, hit it with some brake cleaner and wipe it down with a rag until all the build up is gone. That solved my stalling problem.
