Rolling idle

Have a 1997 with 5.4 engine and the idle rolls up and down. It does not drop low enough to cause a stall, nor does it go high enough to cause high idle problems. It fluctuates or rolls. Code scan shows nothing wrong. Any suggestions on where to look.

Could also be a bad IAC valve. This is a $60 part attached to the back of the TB and is very temperamental. Try a search of "IAC Valve."

Good Luck.
