Idleing Issue..

So out of no where my car starts to idle really weird. The rpm would go up and down. And the car feels like it could shut off by itself anytime. I also checked the couplers and stuff and everything seems to be in place. (Minus the IC area because it's dark right now) Heres a little video of the idle..
Do any of you guys know what's wrong?

-Thanks in advance!

I have read similar posts and so you might search around a bit to learn if others have had the same problem. Checking the MAF is good but it could be a hundred things. How many miles, mods, CELS does it run ok, etc.

FPR hose, check both ends. In the video you can see one end is connected, the other end may not be.

if it's under warranty, don't worry about it

if it's not the MAF, and all the vacuum hoses are tight, and you have a misfire on 4, that just means a bad plug, bad injector, or loose injector harness, either of which are $20 dollar parts and five minute fix. Maybe fuel relay, but you should upgrade that anyways.

Just the OEM ones, there are like 3 different ones. Here is the link to page 22 of it, its the one with the good diagrams. Just check and see if you have a green or blue fuel pump relay, if so then you are probably good with the relays. There is some parts in the thread below regarding a black one that Mitsubishi will sell, as long as its the bigger beefier black relay, your golden. Make sure you check before you spend the dough. MAP sells a complete relay replacement bundle that comes with 4 total relays, if you are on old relays, its worth it to just buy the Map bundle as its going to be cheaper.
