Its still the same problem, the idle will fluctuate from anywhere from 500rpms/1500rpms and sometimes stall and sometimes keep itself up, its not at any special time ( i mean cold or hot does it at both points)

But so far, ive checked vacuum lines, no cracks breaks or missing lines, cleaned the IAC, Replaced the TPS, Cleaned throttle body, Used fuel injector cleaner multiple times, new fuel filter, plugs, wires, distributor cap, rotor, cleaned battery terminals, new air filter

by the "big pack" do you mean the "salt and pepper connectors" the black and whiteish ones?

yes those are the ones..spray some electromotive cleaner down in them and after that blow out with compressed air and then add dialectic grease to pins and reconnect
