Default Quadrajet idle question

i have a issues were my idle drops to 500 then levels to 900 and stays there, after I drop into neutral and cost to a red light. And sometimes if I stop into a store and come back out and start the car it jumps to 900 but goes down to 500 and sometimes just dies. If I wait a min it'll level out to 900 and stay there.
73 Vette original 4mv quardajet.
Choke works fine and comes off after reaching temp.
Thanks

Might be time to contact Lars, or maybe an exorcism. Good luck.
