Default Idle problem...tech are not helpful

My 01 Civic is having an idle problem. Normal idle is at 700rpm but sometimes it'll drop to about 400 and the engine stalls out. Sometimes it'll recover and kick the rpm to about 1500 and settles down...and the whole process repeats. Brought it back to dealer twice and got new idle control valve and MAP sensor but doesn't help.

No check engine light, AC is off, stick in neutral and not touching the cluch.

I know....but I wanna see if u guys have any experience with this. The dealer is clueless and doesn't know what to do besides changing the idle control and MAP sensor.
