What have you done to troubleshoot so far? Any check engine lights? Make, model, year, engine, mods, auto, manual? Any recent maintenance? What have you done to know it isn't the vacuum leak or IACV? Have you checked or cleaned the FITV?

in regards to the msd ignition, did you drill a hole in your distributor cap? i remember having a similar idling problem after i took off my msd and i replaced my cap and rotor and it fixed the problem.
