Default Replaced Fast Idle valve...what next??

Ok...i finally had a chance to replace the fast idle valve this weekend. The idle was originally bouncing from 500-3000 rpm and was really irradic. Now with the new valve in, it bounces from 500-2000.

It feels like the idle is just going too low and then the car trys to compensate and gives it gas, after a couple times of goin up and down, it just dies when it cant recover.... Any ideas?

sounds like you could have a vaccuum leak. I removed my cruise control, and had to move my car before I had a chance to plug the intake nipple. The idle was acting almost like it had stage 3 cams (of course without the more powerful exhaust sound)
