Having a idling problem

I have a 95 f150 351w e40d. I was getting a 211 error code, with all the symptoms that the pip sensor was bad. So. I replaced the distributor, set the timing to 10% with the spout connector off. The truck is running great exept when you come to a stop and sitting at the light, intermittently the idle will drop and fluctuate and almost cutoff. I know I need to check my codes to see if another one has popped up. But can someone just give me a ballpark idea of what the problem could be, or if there is a idle setting procedure I need to do?

Thanks,
Dean
