Check the idle speed kickdown switch. it is the little switch under the 
intake by the throttle. the hammer comes down and should JUST engage the 
switch when you take your foot off the gas. with the car shut off, use the 
throttle with your hand and listen for a distinct 'click' from the idle 
switch. if you don't hear it, try starting the car and using a pencil to 
engage the switch. does that help? if it kicks down and stays faily stable 
(around 800 RPM), then you need to do some throttle linkage adjustments.
