Idle fluctuation when coasting?

Howyadoin,

Here's a bit of weirdness... Conditions: <30 MPH, off throttle, coasting, usually downhill or level grade. RPM sitting at ~750 RPM, every 4 seconds or so RPM will drop below 500 for about a second, then come back to ~750, then repeat after 4 seconds. Doesn't happen at a stop or in park. Any guesses? ISC motor, dirty throttle butterflies, bad MAF (or is it MAP on a '96?) sensor? O2 sensor?

There is no ISC motor on the 96, that was my first thought also until I saw 96. Try taking out the IAC (Idle Air Control) on the side of the throttle body and cleaning it and its passage.

IAC is #1
