Have you set the base idle? The procedure is described in Bentleys. With the car off you will be able to hear a click as you move the throttle off of the idle position (this is by hand with your ear next to the throttle body). If you do not hear that click you need to reset the base idle. This base idle is lost if someone tries to adjust the idle speed by adjusting the linkage rather than cleaning the throttle body and setting it correctly. Check for the click just as the throttle begins to open (this will be a micro switch like click- faint).
