I'm currently having an issue at idle, does it occasionally especially before the car warms up. When it does, it will usually stall several times until it warms up.

I cleaned ICV and throttle body. Power steering wires and switch on top of clutch pedal seem fine. MAF was replaced with a new one not so long ago. I've also noticed that sometimes the car hesitates slightly under acceleration, don't know if it's related.

Here's a vid:


Any ideas?
 
I don't really have many other suggestions apart from have you checked the spark plugs and leads?

If you are getting a bad idle on cold and a bit of hesitation I would check these.
 
How about the throttle position sensor? It seems to me that the ICV is trying to compensate something. Also, since this is rather old car, I would check the wiring to the crankshaft postioning sensor as well as the one for the camshaft.
Can you do a diagnostics check?
