well i think i fixed it. drove around for a good half hour no problums. i just cleaned out the iacv(day befor)(i guess not enough coolent was geting to the iacv when the thermostat opened.) and earlyer i had spilled some coolent out. but today i toped her up and let it heat up. opening the little nipple to let out air then bam she went into loop and no messed up idle.

please bare with my grammer.

maybe a vacuum leak, when i put my head back i didnt push PCV hose all the way (my hands were too big :D) and when engine warmed up the idle would be bouncy too
