Erratic Idle Issue

Looking for some insight
Coils and plugs are fresh, only engine code I have is P0172, could a bad 02 sensor be the cause of this issue? Video explains a little better

Erratic Idle Issue

You asked this question in the 100,000mi thread. There are some answers for you there.

EDIT: actually, it probably got lost in the thread because of it getting a bit derailed.

Check your neutral switch, plugs/coils/wires, ess, air filter and maf, fuel delivery.
There's more, but this should get you started.

Plugs/coils/wires are new, ess has been cleaned, maf is new and have cleaned it, either its the intake, havent checked the neutral switch, I have seen some threads on how to get to it, or the o2 sensor, ill update if i find the problem, thanks.
