'90 LX 5.0L 5-Speed Surging Idle

I replaced the clutch this past weekend and now the engine is surging at idle, maybe ranging from 500 rpm to 1,000 rpm, and will often stall. It does it when it's in neutral or when the clutch is disengaged. After it runs for maybe 5 minutes or so it seems to smooth out and idle normally at about 750 rpm. Prior to the new clutch I noticed this same symptom only when the AC was running. Any ideas as to what is causing this and how to correct it?

Thanks much!

Re: '90 LX 5.0L 5-Speed Surging Idle

I cleaned my Idle Air Controller (IAC) last night and that seems to have taken care of the idling issue. I found a good resource here:
