try cleaning your FITV(Fast idle thermo valve)

I removed my broken Fast idle thermo valve.

Bottom of the throttle body.

if you scroll down the link I gave the OP you'll see a pic of it right under the throttle body

on 96+ motors i'm pretty sure don't have a FITV but have an IACV with a built in function of the FITV. So therefore you'll need to clean the IACV if you don't have a FITV.

Cold idle I'm a little above a grand. When warm it sits at 800 but after driving and coming to a stop it always dips down to like 400-500...can't even hear it running but it never stalls. I don't have a fitv either, just kinda live with it *shrugs*
