Horrible Idle

'99 S70 100kmi NA 5spd

After accelerating then letting in the clutch (allowing the needle to return to idle position) my idle drops to 500rpm then bounces between 500-1000 for about 30 seconds. Sometimes it actually stalls.

It causes a lot of vibration at that low of an RPM and I don't want my engine mounts messed up.

'99 S70 = $hitty electroinc throttle body.

Could the air mass meter cause such a problem?

I would give your throttle body a cleaning. To see if it's your maf, start the car up and unplug the MAF, if the idle smoothens out then well, there you go. Bad MAF will usually throw a CEL though..
