Engine lunging at low RPM Options

[king_wsk]

I notice when i'm in 1st and 2nd gear, while in stop and go traffic, my GT jumps a bit every 10 or so seconds just a bit, enough to make me loose good throtle control. It only does it when the engine is barely above idle, around 1000-1700rpm.

I've also noticed that if I leave the car on for 5-10 minutes just idling, the rpm will occationally drop from a healthy 1000rpm to 700rpm for a second once every 20-30 seconds.

Any ideas on whats going on here? I think it has something to do with my sparkplug wires as when I got the car, one of the plug wires wasn't all the way connected and occationally comes slightly out of the socket, but not enough to not fire. Even after I make sure the plug is on fully, it still does the same things.

You're not going to believe this. While installing the modified 90-93 Accord CAI, I noticed that the temp sensor was unplugged!!! Also, while the filter was new (just changed it), the rest of the stock intake system was dirty as hell! I've only driven around less than 10 miles, but I already notice that the engine now idles right around 750 rpms and so far hasn't done any of that lunging.

I don't know if it was the fact that the sensor was unplugged or the intake was super dirty that caused it, but I really don't care now cause it works!!!

Thanks anyways for the suggestions.
