Clean the intake or with Carb cleaner/FI cleaner. Or put some sea foam in the brake booster hose/line that goes into your intake and it will clean out your system. Don't worry if your car smokes out the tail pipe when doing this, its normal...

LOL

X2000 with the addition of make a thread asking questions only after you have read them tried the fixes and it still has the hunting idle (like me)

cstone if you've done those suggestions for the cleaning and it still doesn't work try adjusting the idle adjustment screw at the top of the TB all the way clockwise

It helped my H22's wandering idle when I was having a similar issue.

I did that in addition to the rest of the suggestions and it was sorted out.
