Some times at lights it will drop and have a bad all most stalling idle. If i give it gas when it drops its fine again for the time being, if i dont it will either stall or pick back up. Anyone have any suggestions? I have a pcv valve i can replace the one thats on there now but i dont know where it is if anyone could help. And where are the 2 o2 sensors that i might check for? - picks would help too -

High idle can be caused by a bad ECT, non-seating throttle body, sticking IAC, or vacuum leaks. "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it" -George Santayana

Actually it was two cables. And they're not cheap. Besides Carbon plugged EGR passages behind the TB gasket the back side Of the TB had 1/4" thick oilly gunk build up and the fixed /adjustable idle (left side/next the TPS) was completely plugged. After all passages cleaned, IAT cleaned (actually it wasn't all that bad and the MAF wires checked (clean) then we discoverd the sticking cable.
