idle drops when first giving it gas

[Red66GT]

The idle on my car dips down about 200 rpms when I first give it gas, which makes take offs kinda jerky. Any one know what would cause this? The cars a '97 GT 5 speed manual tranny. (2nd problem w/ my 'new' car if anyone read my other post)

Sounds like your car's running rich. How do the plugs look?

Air leaking into the air intake upstream of the MAF.

"Air leaking into the air intake upstream of the MAF" ... if thats the case, how can I fix it?

I took the car to the car I bought it from and he said that its a bad plug wire, does that make sense?

I'm going to drop the car off to him next week so he can fix a few problems w/ it (in reference to my other post about the popping noise, he said the lower control arm bushing needs changing)

Find the leak and close it. But, yes, it could be a bad plug as well - could be a number of things to be quite honest. A clogged fuel filter comes to mind as well.
