Default rough rider

I noticed that sometimes when I am at a stop light the idel on the car drops off. When I stop at a light while in drive and the brake on it does this 2-3 times real quick then goes back to normal. The car sounds rough for a second or two then it goes back up to where it should be. The car does not stall out but feels like it is about too. Any thoughts what this could be?

Mass Airflow Sensor. Located at the neck of your air tube/ air box assembly right before the throttle body. They make a special cleaner for it that works well and is available at almost any autoparts store. It is typically made by CRC and called Mass Air Flow Sensor cleaner.

If that is the problem and the sensor is faulty..the warranty should cover it..
