have you read in the faq on this? make sure your throttle cable is not too tight, thus pulling your butterfly slightly open at idle. i have seen that before.

yeah the butterfly valve is closed. it has been running fine for the past two years and then all of sudden it just started at a stop light.

Check your vacuum ports, an open port can cause some crazy idles.

Almost every time my idle has gotten jumpy, its been because the FITV was messing up. Maybe the stock adjustment on the new one was off. I take mine and tighten them all the way up.

when mine is tightened all the way I idle too low, I backed mine out but i did it too much so it idle'd around 1200 sometimes. I'd do all the way down then 1/4-1/2 turn back out
