Default heat=fluctuting idle?

When my car is cold my idle is at 700 rmps or so and when it warms up after drving for like 10 minutes my idle fluctuates from 900 to 1000 rmps a few tims then sits at 900 and make a little ratling sound???

yea mine has the same problem, i believe ( correct me if im wrong ) it may be the idle control valve that needs replacement, 150-200 bucks.

Before doing that, why dont you take it apart and clean out the little filter mesh element inside...then get a new one if it doesn't work

What car/engine? It could be the IACV or it could be the FITV (Fast Idle Thermo Valve). Any CELs?
