I have a 2001 Nissan Altima that sputters when it idles to the point that it sometimes stalls out. We just had it tuned up and no change. About 6 months ago we had the fuel system cleaned out and that worked for a little while but then went right back to the sputtering. Any ideas?

You may have a bad IAC ( idle air control) but try eliminating any vacuum leaks and cleaning the throttle body first. Remove the intake snorkel, have someone hold the throttle wide open for you and scrub the back side of the throttle plate and surrounding bore with an old tooth brush and some carb cleaner. Be sure to spray some into the small holes next to the throttle plate. That should help stabilize the idle. If it still has a problem, replace the IAC.
