Hi Klaus, seems to me that if the IAC wasn't operating smoothly because of gunk in it, that could cause a fluctuating idle, since he's complaining of fluctuation, not just low idle speed. Might not that also explain the "burp" at low acceleration? Seems like if the throttle plate wasn't returning to the fully closed position or opening slightly for the same reason, that could also cause problems. Inquiring minds would like to know ;-)
