Default Bad idle..HELP!

The lude is running pretty good, except at idle. THe idle will drop to 1, then up to 1.5, then randomly back down to 1, then to 1.3, then back to 1. Its all over in that range...any ideas wtf is wrong??? Other then that the car is running great...Any ideas? Please!

fast idle valve, bottom of the throttle body, you dont need it, remove it cut a new gasket, and plug up the open holes and watch your intake temps drop dramatically
