Ok take you throttle body off. Then look for a metal plate on the back side of it nearest the firewall. Take the 2 screws off with a 8mm. Then tighten that plastic pice in their with a flat head. Their should be like a spring loaded ball with a plastic thing around it. When that vibrates loose it causes it to have erratic idle. Bc you already changed eac and fast idle its gotta be this. Also try turning the idle screw clockwise. This fixed my idle

I didn't understand where you tighten the plastic thing. Is this in the throttle angle positionner? The only plastic thing i have see in this is the pin who maintained the throttle. But the only way to reach this is to remove the sensor and its riveted in the body. Thanks for the advice. Have a good day.
