Idle problem?
Since returning from Funfest my car is running weird.
Whenever I slow down for a stop light, the idle drops down to about 500rpm for about 15-20 seconds then it jumps back up to a normal idle. This only seems to occur after the car has been under a load. If I just run the rpms up while sitting in the garage it returns to a normal idle.
Any suggestions where to start, before I go cleaning the throttle body and IAC pintle for nothing.

94 vette right? I would clean the TB and IAC anyway if it hasn't been done in awhile. Is/has the check engine light come on? What is the battery voltage when this happens..steady? Maybe check for vac leaks.
