Poor surging idle 700

posted by  someone claiming to be bud760 on  Mon May 5 05:40 CST 2003 [RELATED]

Well my 780 has had a real problem at idle and wants to pull away from me. The RPMs will hunt from 800 to 1700, sometimes without pause.
Anyway, I've tried to check all of the vac lines and attachments, and I also cleaned a lot of crap from the throttle body.
Now I'm noticing a strong smell of gas especially at start up.
I'm not sure if I should look to the mass air meter b/c its making it run rich, or maybe the fuel system.
Anyone know of a way to diagnose my problems? Thanks.
