89 5.0 vert car idles up and down slowly its not a fast surging it idles down to 8-900 ish then slowly climbs up to 1700 or so then back down car has new iac valve new tps no vacuum leaks i cant figuer it out any thoughts? Also when its cold you can hold the throttle steady any rpm say for instance you hold it at 2500 and all of a sudden the car bogs and wants to die but only when its cold and when you hold the throttle off idlw steady. Help?

This is a surging idle checklist by jrichker, it will save you from chasing your tail and unnecessary parts purchases.
You also need to check for codes, thanks to jrichker for that one too
