Fluctuating Idle ''FIXED''

Took IAC off and cleaned it...wasn't really gunked up though and put new gasket on it. Took Air Filter Hose off and looked in Throttle Body. Throttle Plate,"Butterfly", or whatever ya call it was cracked open at least 1/8th of an inch. The external linkage springs were corroded and wouldn't let it close all the way. Took the front part of the intake off the part that has the TPS on it and cleaned it, the Throttle linkage, including the springs. Was all gunked up. Replaced the gasket. Then got to thinking maybe the computer needed to re-learn the idle again so i took the Battery Cable off for 15 minutes. Hooked it back up and "VOILA" Thing runs like new!!!
