Default Idle drops when not in gear

When I coast up to a stop light and take the car out of gear the idle drops way down,(300-500) then imediatly returns to normal (800-1k) The car runs fine other wise. I have an intake and exhaust on but, its done this before I put those parts on. Its never tries to die, I just think its a bit odd. Any ideas?

recent change in weather? this constitutes for a "map whack" aka your MAP sensor needs some sense knocked into it.

people are sheep.

check the IAC motor, it probabaly clogged up with carbon.

i refuse to bang on the map, the only reason i think a whack will work is that the gasket is not sitted right.
