loping
There are many causes of loping idle. If you keep chipping away at it youll find it.
Vac leak
Moisture in fuel
clogged injectors
Faulting TPS that changes the signal
bad or sticking IAC or dirty MAF
sticking PCV
fuel pressure or regulator
sticking valves
These are some of the more common
coil packs

If the idle is jumping around my bet is TPS. It has happend 3 times now with Ryan (2 times on the Bonne, 1 time on his Jeep). The price Ryan has to pay for having such a clean engine bay.

I can honestly say, my old Bonneville and this Bonneville both have never idled perfect.
I have never been able to pin point why either...
I've learned to live with it, annoying as it is
