So my engine is idling pretty rough sounding like it’s basically going to shut off but doesn’t, still drives but I don’t want to drive it the way it is but atm it’s my only source of transport has this happened to anyone else randomly haven’t changed anything, I can upload a video later, it’s just a regular RB30 N/A

It might be your Idle Air Control valve clagged up with carbon, and stuck in the base idle position.

Would you have any idea how I’d check that and how much it’d cost? Thank you for the reply

Just as a general suggestion, pop the bonnet when it is dark and see if there is any arcing from and ignition leads, the coil or distributor.
