more idle problems

Alright, I know there are a ton of threads on this topic and I hate to bore you guys with this.. the search is still not working totally btw. Here are my idle symptoms, please tell me it is not the LIM.

On warmup the car idles at 2000rpm, not like the AWS where you tap the gas and it drops to 1000.. sticks at 2k no matter what. I let the car warm up to about 75C and slowly take it out until it is in the mid 80's.. idle now drops to 1500rpm and stays there for quite a while. After driving around for say 15 minutes I come to a stop light, now the idle starts hunting.. up and down between 900-1200 rpm. It will do this for the next few stops, and then finally if I am lucky.. it will idle at about 900rpm on occasion, but only after completely warmed up and driven for a decent amount of time. I have not gotten under the manifold to inspect all the lines yet, but my vaccum on idle is excellent and the boost pattern is fine as well. I may have tightened the throttle cable too much last weekend when I changed the plugs/wires, but it was showing symptoms like this before I ever touched anything. Any ideas? I plan on taking care of this myself, but being a novice at this motor still I need a place to start looking. TIA..
