    I have the same problem it idles rich and surges at an idle. It will often die when just sittin at an idle but runs great while you are driving it.

You need to Replace your Gas Cap. The Seal is worn and it is allowing Air to get inside the Fuel tank Causing your Rough Idle.

    You might Try getting a K & N Air Filter for your Truck. It very well could be part of the Problem. It will increase the Air Flow and the Horsepower Considerably. and it is Permanent! You will never need another Air Filter!

My 1994 5-speed manual Pathfinder sputters and jerks when it's cold

Here are the common cause of surges, stalls at stops, slow idle speed, erratic idle, it is in most cases the idle speed control air-bypass valve and/or throttle valve and upper intake, these area's get full of gunk and combustion residue over the miles and cause idle issues (stalls, low idle) like yours, Get a can of intake cleaner from any local parts store, not carb spray, intake cleaner, it is made by a company called CRC, remove the air intake hose to the engine, hold the idle high so the engine won't stall, then spray the can of cleaner into the intake while keeping the engine running, use at least 1/2 the can, shut down the engine and disconnect the battery for 5 minutes, then restart and complete a number of mixed driving
