Default Idol problem with my 97 del sol

I have a B16a in my del sol and the car idles like garbage, stays at 1500 surging up and down 100 rpms. If i push on the gas slowly the car will try and shut off and bog out. but if i go past it fast theres no problem....
I ve checked sensors all seem to be fine.
ANY IDEA WOULD BE GREAT!!!

Take off the iacv and clean it. If that doesent work then make sure you have no vacuum leaks.

A lot of Del Sol's have this same problem, it is probably in the intake IACV or TPS. You cleaned that, but double check the entire system becuase Vacume leaks can hide out in that area.
