My toyota pickup has an intermittant idle stumble. I have replaced the spark plugs, plug wires, pcv valve, fuel filter, air filter, thermostat, cooling fan, temp sensor, cold start injector sensor and nothing has helped. After driving for awhile, sometimes when I come to a stop the idle will sit at 900 and then quickly drop to 400 - 500 then slowly climb back to 900, then repeat over and over again. Any ideas what to do next?

The engine uses a Air Flow Meter and the symptoms you described could be due to
1. Vacumn leakage between AFM and throttle body.
2. Valve clearances too tight.
3. Idling speed adjusted too high. Idling speed should be 750 rpm at operating temperature.
