Is this why my car is idling like crap ? ( pics )

Ok so my car starts like it wants to die again , but if I tap on the gas it comes back to life little by little. Or if I just leave it alone, the rpm will climb slowly . Plus my car revs up between shifts. Anyway I saw this and wanted to see what you guys think .

It doesn't really look like much in my opinion. I mean your manifold is obviously building up some crap but I don't think I would just blame the injectors since you have crud going up onto your valve cover. Or at least coming from your valve cover down to your manifold. From the pictures it looks like your injector o'rings are not completely set but it might be a bad angle or something.

Do a boost leak test. If it leaks with 20psi in the system, it certainly leaks when the throttle is closed and there is >15in of vacuum in the manifold..

the surface area at the top does look rather clean while the rest is dirty, especially where the injector is seated. make sure the o rings on the injectors are good and that the injectors are seating in properly. if there is a leak u would smell or even see it when throttling while looking in that location. it happened to me with a honda i had.

Almost looks like a leaky valve cover gasket and leaky injector seals. As mentioned earlier, those injector seals can rob you of vacuum.
