Default Lt1 problem

Lt1 1594xx miles m6

But when I'm coasting what ever speed with the clutch pushed in the rpms will go from 1300 to 900 then back to 1000-1200 it will just kinda bounce around.
What could this be? Normally it sits at 1300 when coasting with the clutch pushed in.
At a light it will sit at 1k idle.
Could it be a vacuum leak? If so where should I most likely check?
No engine lights either.

Sounds like a Vac. Leak. Typical culprit is Intake gasket. But, could be anywhere.

How erratic is it? They sound like subtle changes. Does it sound like its missing, then surging?

It will ge at 1300 then drip to700. Then surge up to 1k or 1100 then it goes back. Its not a everyday thing it happens maybe every other day or every few. I'll try to get a video.

So check out wires around the tps?

I would pull out and clean or check the voltage on the IAC valve.
