cel codes? grab some carb cleaner and spray it around, if you have a vacuum leak you'll notice the rpm's go up from the spray

Is CEL code P0505 thrown?

Check whether one or more vacuum hoses on the IM are disconnected.

Did you replace the TB gasket and torque the nuts and bolts to spec?

vacuum hoses on the “Im”?? What’s the IM again?

Air trapped in the system can cause the idle to bounce. I believe it’s related to the iacv not registering coolant temp
