^ lol it probably is. Clean it.
Come back with results.
That's like askin' about a CEL before you pull the codes.
I'm guess iacv as well. Clean off the TB while you're at it.

Re: bouncing Idle
Any CEL codes?
What work have you recently done on the engine?
If you place your hand over the top of the throttle body (TB) with the engine warm and idling, can you kill the engine?
If you use your finger to cover the port inside the TB leading to the IACV when the idle is fluctuating, does this prevent the idle fluctuation?

Re: bouncing Idle
No codes, recently just did plugs, wires, cap, rotor, and fuel filter. I cleaned the TB, at the same time. I will pull the iac, and cleaning it.
Also kudos on putting your hand over the TB, never even thought of doing that.
I will update this monday night, after work. Thanks
