Weird Idle? long time no problems

alright well, been so long since i've posted a help thread, lol.. you guys miss me?!? but really tho, i have a weird idle problem, my car wont idle unless i warm it up manually for 3 or 4 minutes.. then the idle will jump between 900 and 1100 revs... ive checked for vac leaks many times, checked and rechecked the TPS, and also the BAC... but im not 100% sure ive checked and/or adjusted them correctly... im wanting to bet it's the TPS, but i cant be 100% sure without the expert opinions... and also i was wondering if the AFM could be part of the problem, my stock AFM (87 n/a) stopped working randomly one night, so i replaced it with a spare (87 TII) AFM i had.. it still has the stock seal, so could this be part or the whole problem?


as always, thanks

Check timing

An often overlooked part componet to a fluctuatating Idle...have you checked the tension on your Throttle Cable? It may not be It but you may want to check the deflection as per FSM, I think It's 3mm of play.
