Rough Idle

Recently, I've had a rough idle problem with my 99 SE. The car shudders sporadically, almost if it had a heartbeat. The dealer has had it twice, and is unable to diagnose the problem.

Fule injecters were cleaned and a new fuel filter was added. Anyone had a similar experience? Could it be an airflow issue? Car runs great when accelerating...

All tune up items will help. IACV, clean TB, oil change or maybe your engine is just getting old cause my original started to be like that once it leaked compression.
