Default HELP! engine bogging and studdering

i have a 95 stealth and when its in low rpms the engine bogs and studders and sounds like its not getting enough fuel. when im on the highway it drives pretty normal. but when i stop or climb a hill it studders an sounds like it wants to stall. the lights dim an you can feel the car bump like somthings misfireing or somthing while it idles. i was thinking it was fuel or air related but im becomming very frustrated haha. anyone have any ideas?!?

Default check the alternator

you might have a bad alternator. or the belt is loose. when your at Idle the alternator probably not putting enough voltage then when you raise the rpm the voltage goes up.

When was the last time you replaced the fuel filter ???
A partially clogged filter may be too restricted at idle with more throttle enough fuel gets thru

It may be your bleeder valve on your throttle body. Pull that little rubber stopper off and loosen the bolt.

Still having the problem? Check your EGR valve. prolly cluttered with carbon deposits.
