BlueHavenKennel,
I had the same problem that was haunting me for over a year since I put a new motor in my car.
After asking every intake question possible and swapping everything from the air filter to the intake plenum.....out of the blue, I decided to try something I hadn't heard of here; or anywhere.
First, I adjusted the idle screw as per my Chiltons service manual. With this setting, the idle would always hang for about 5 or 6 seconds before settling in. Next, I slowly (1/8 turn at a time) turned the screw outward. It seems like it takes a while for things to settle in with EEC-V so I would turn the screw outward 1/8 turn and then drive the car for a few days......
After about five tries, I got the idle to not hang but it had a tendancy to want to stall sometimes. No problem, turned the screw in about 1/8 turn and all is well!
In my case, maybe it was the new cam. Everything else on my engine is basically stock but it would not idle right with the idle screw set to the service manual settings. With the original stock motor, setting the idle the way the manual indicated would always turn out a smooth, steady idle.
If nothing else works, give this a try! Might work for you.
