Random Bounce idle

I got this random bouncing idle on my R. Would it be that the car is running too rich or lean at idle considering all else is running fine?

Take a look at your IAC. The screen on mine looked like someone had taken a couple bong hits through it.

Clean it with some Brake cleaner, and let it dry for a while. Mine took overnight to dry out.

I did it once without letting it dry completely and it killed my TPS. I have no idea how, but my TPS when nuts about a day or 2 later. It didn't solve the problem though.

Fuel pump maybe? How long has it been going on for? How much of a bounce in rpm's is it? Does it happen when the engine is cold or hot (both)?

Re: (ITR184)

It happens when the engine is hot. It has been going on for at least 6 months. It seems to happen especially when I start to turn on more electrical components like the radio.
