If you think this is the problem, shut off (close) your IAC and see if you MAP readings stablize. I bet they will. If this is the problem, let me know and I can give you some suggestions to get you motor to idle well without the IAC.

Fred is correct, the newer 302 and 351 manifolds are plumbed for the IAC, they don't use the main plenum. Al
