I have had a few idle problems with my VS, ive read the other post on this but it hasnt been much help. I was thinking maybe someone could give me a few ideas. The car idles up and down, backfires when i rev it. The rev gauge constantly bounces up and down erratically and so does my monster tacho. Also the fuel average has gone up heaps. I tried changes the plugs and leads, new oxy censor, cleaned the throttle body And just today changed the IAC motor. Given the car a full service with new oil and fuel filter.. but still no change. Everytime i take it someplace, every mechanic says its something different. Im totally stuck here on what the problem could be. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated

Couldn't you do that at home as everyone else has done? Or am i missing something?
