Ok my idle is really weird it will idle at 1500 then drop to 1200 the back to normal and it will kepp do this all the time.I thought it could have been my throttle body getting stuck.But i dont know i am running a 50 shot of NOS and i didnt change the timing i dont no how to.It didnt do this until i ran my nos.I havent used my nitrous for about a week and a half.It started doing this about a week ago.What could be the problem.thanks alot for any help guys.

First thing, check for vacuum leaks.

Check the IAB, make sure it's working.
Replace if neccessary.

Clean the TB/EGR assembly. Make sure there's no gunk gloging anything.

Then re-set your idle using the procedures on the Corral tech page.

If that doesn't cure the problem, clean the 10-pin connectors. (spread the pins & make sure they're getting good contact)

One or more of these cures 90% of the hunting idle problems on these cars.
