Check for vacuum leaks on or around the throttle body, intake manifold, and all vacuum lines with brake clean or carb cleaner or something like that. Be careful not to spray your alternator.

Thread title edited.

------------------------

A bad ECT sensor (2-wire sensor below the distributor) could cause a fluctuating idle. Measure its resistance with the engine fully warmed. It should be 200-400 Ohms.

mmm... you should check that, the map sensor is the one that goes over the throttle body, like he said check for vacum leaks too, and the tempererature sensor you should check that too because you computer cam be reading a bad temperature or your cluster one of both and thats bad
