Default B18B idle low idle problem

Like the topic says, I start the car, and it runs just under 1000 rpms for like 45 seconds, then it drops down to like 300-500 and almost dies, never does, but almost, then it slowly builds its way back up to under 1000 and then sits there for like a few minutes and then deies... also, when i pull up to traffic lights it idles really low.

And for the first couple minutes of the motor warming up, it kinda bogs down at around 2500-4000 Rpms, but once motor is warm, no problems.

Thanks for the help

cleaned the IACV, spark plugs are all gaped correctly and fine, no vacume leaks as far as i can tell, but i did notice that as soon as it dips down, and i hit the gas, it will jump back up to where it is supposed to be and sit there till it dips again... could that mean that the IACV is bad, should i buy a new one... any way to check... also checked the tiimng with a gun... right at the red mark when the sevice cable is NOT jumperd, but when i jumper it, it is past the red mark twords the front of the car? Is my timing off and that whats causing it?
