Default Idle help please

I know this subject is beaten to death but I need help...

I reset codes there was none, unpluged idle valve set rmp as low as i could without the car shutting off, set tps around .89, and ran the car. Idled fine sitting there. Coming to a light idle is all over the place. When I let go off the gas it drops fast. But give it a rev idle goes to 1300 then settles around 800 fora while. Just got home with car running spray carb cleaner everywhere nothing... Any ideas the iac is a couple months old and I cleaned it and the throttle body and the Maf still nothing.

Can't fined any vacum leaks

With iac unplugged I get the car to idle fine but every couple of minutes it surges down and then back to normal idle
