check for vacuum leaks that would be a real good start to finding the problem. Maybe even plugs and wires.

It could just be that your adjustments are off or that you are adjusting it incorrectly. Remember, there's a CTP switch that needs to be adjusted BEFORE adjusting the TPS. From there you can adjust your idle base settings.

also check your altanator belt, mine slips when it's loose and runs bad.

Does it run rough or does it sound like it's hunting? (Like someone is revving the engine up and down)

you have idle surge. tell us what youve tried to replace to far. Possibilities are a bad isc motor, idle adjustment is off, bad egr, dirty tb, missing/bad vacuume line. no matter what it is, it will be located around the tb

ISC? I'm guessing you mean IAC motor? That was what I was thinking it is...
