problem with idle need some help

hey i have a problem that i have just noticed.

Recently i have noticed that when coming to a stop and my car is at idle, the rpms tend to fall under 500 and the car seems like its choking out and then they will go back to a normal idle of around 700.

this doesnt happened every single time i come to a stop but i have never had this problem in the winter just started happening recently.

anyone have dealt with this.

it has not caused the car to stall or die but im still interested why and what is causing it and how to fix it.

i am not getting CEL, so i cant pull any codes

thanks in advance

I had something similar going on in the couple of months before my build was underway. I wasn't too fussed about it but knowing what I know now about the detonation problem it makes me a bit paranoid on the behalf of other people.

Change fuel recently? Temperatures and air densities are changing-did you use any fuel additives?

check your air filter, it could be over clogged

So I cleaned the filter and took apart the oem bend coupler and found a hole in between one of the ribs. So I did a temp fix before the new couplers come and all is back to normal. Thanks for the help and input.
