so I was wondering if a bad terminal on the battery could cause a poor idle.

My car idles pretty good with the jumper cables on but when I take em off it starts a rough idle. when I rev it it runs fine but stumbles on low idle.

I replaced the pos battery terminal, the battery, I took the alt to a parts store and it checked out. the only thing I can think of is the negative terminal its pretty old, i cleaned it multiple times but it still does not fit as snug as I would like.

any other ideas?
