My car does that to I asked a local shop, speed merchant, and they said that it might just be the aftermarket stuff.

thanks but.. "1) Now you got to locate where the FITV is. If your car is 1996 and newer you don’t have one."

Is your iacv wired correctly. Do you hear a buzz near the it?
Have you checked your timing?

Does the idle only become horrible when it warms up.
