Fluctuating idle

I guess I'm gonna have to bust out my AE soon, just figured I would post a video of what my truck does when warming up, it doesn't do it cold or hot, seems to be between 136 and 160 when warming up, I'm starting to lean on an injector acting up. It is hard to discern by the sound in the video but you can hear it as well when you see the tach jump it changes in pitch. Check out this video on YouTube:

Think Cheezit mentioned in someone else post it was an injector. They had similar problem when going through a certain temp range.
