Default Random Low Idle

I Drive a 00 EX Coupe and for some reason when I Stop at a light occasionally will the Idle Drop around 500 RPM'S which causes the car to vibrate a bit, but overall its usually up around 800- 900 RPMS if i had to estimate. I changed the spark plugs, Wires, Distributor Cap and Rotor and recently the Ignition Coil since i burned that out. the new ignition coil seemed to improve idle a lot, but still falls to 500 RPMS occasionally. What should i do?

Thanks

Nothing. It's normal. Do you notice that it seems to do it when the fan kicks on?

Not Sure, Next Time that happens ill try to hear for it. I was thinking maybe i need to change my IACV because sometimes when i cold start my car the idle will bounce three times and think that might have a correlation to the low idle
