pull your IACV off and clean it....also make sure you have the vacuum lines goin to the right places...you may have them all connected, but if their not on right, than you will still get a fluctuating idle

To check for vacuum leaks, spray some carb-cleaner over the suspected gasket/line and if the idle jumps up then there is a leak there.
