Bouncing Idle

Thanks for all the tips. I've been having the same bouncing idle issue for a couple of years, but only when the ambient temperature is below 40°F (4°C) or so. I've been able to fix it in the past by cleaning out the vacuum side of the AAV with carb cleaner, but this winter it didn't help.

I tried your troubleshooting methods, but was unable to to block the port to the AAV just ahead of the throttle butterfly valve with my finger. If I remove the air intake between my air filter and the TPS to access the port, the car will not run. Do I need to disconnect the AFM at the air filter?

Anyway, when I took the AAV apart I found some RTV liquid gasket from a water pump replacement wedged into the AAV coolant inlet. The line from the engine was getting hot, so it must not have been completely plugged but I hope I solved the problem.
