Wild idle

Now I know that this is a Max forum, but...

my Dodge Stratus is having a problem someone here may have a solution to. The POS idles like it is on a roller coaster. It almost stalls at about 500rpm, oil light goes on, then revs back up to about 800rpm. This happens almost every time it comes to a stop.
I am about to get rid of this thing and buy a Max, but I'll get nothing for it if it does this crap. Somebody help!!!

I would post this somewhere else, but there is no stratus.org. (I wonder why?)

Re: Wild idle

Had the same problem with a dodge caravan. The MAP sensor was bad. Check the hose first.
