I too cleaned the side oil breather box on my 760, but eventually just bought a new one. I apparently was not getting the old one as clean as it needed to be, as crankcase ventilation has greatly improved with the new box.

That said, I would clean the throttle body and make sure on vac hoses. Also your idle control valve can need cleaning - replacing.

Most every thing I read here on the board says that problems like yours are rarely electrical component related - and almost always a cleaning issue along with making sure vacumn lines are right.
