Todd,

Had the same thing on my 85 and it was the idle stabilizer. Silver thing just forward of the fan, connected to two black hoses and below the fuel injection system on top of the motor. Rpm's had hunted at idle until I switched this puppy out then its been smooth as can since.

Cost $100-125 or so when I replaced mine. You might want to swap one out from another car to test, then if the problem stops, buy a new unit. Takes less than 10 minutes to change out. Two hose clamps, two 10mm nuts and one wire harness...

Joe
