RPM's droping at idle?

I got a 1994 f-150 302, im having a problem with my rpm's at idle. The rpm's will drop and bounce around 500 when im stoped and the truck is just idleing. I had my truck checked out and they said it was the "Idle Air Control Selenoid." The truck drove fine for a couple of days, but now im back where I started. I lloked up my Hanes and it said the IAC should read between 7 to 13 ohms to work properly. My IAC is at 10.5, so i guess that its not the selenoid.

Have you checked the computer codes yourself? Did "they" check the codes and tell you what came up?

Do a search in this forum for "computer codes" or "checking computer codes" if you need to learn how to do so.
