Default Erratic idle

my 94's engine Rpms are surging . I replaced the opt I spark and now the engine Rpms are hunting at low throttle rpm. We checked the vacuum lines and found no leaks. I also changed the IAC, alternator, battery, and water pump. Is there a reload procedure or something that I am missing.

Or, maybe he should try cleaning the lint trap, just run water though it and see - - - might just work . . . . .
