Engine idle issue, Hunting
Been working on this for several months. After replacing a head gasket, I started having problems withe the engine hunting while idle. I replaced vacuum lines, set timing, replaced plugs, wires, distributor, coil, etc.. The engine still wants to hunt between 6 & 8 rpm. Any new ideas?

I pulled off the throttle body, cleaned it and replaced the IAC. Also went through proceedure to set idle speed and set TPS to .54 volts.
