Question 500 efi erratic idle

The motor fluctuates from about 700-800 rpm for about 20 seconds then drops down to 500rpm for a second. It is also slow to come back to idle if you rev it.

What could it be? Iac motor?

Thanks in advance!

IAC would be my guess.

You had the intakes off right ?
Are all 3 vac lines connected back up at the rear of the
intake?.. pcv hose too ?, or check the plenum o rings to make shure they're still in the proper position/groove in the lower intake runners.
