Question B20b Idle problem

I've searched through and saw a couple things, but nothing that really helps me with my problem.. Im running a 90 Civic Hatch w/a B20 swap. When the car is idle , it revs 1-2 and back and forth forever and ever... I thought it was the IAC valve , and replaced it but that didnt fix it.. Im thinking a vaccum leak somewhere maybe near the intake manifold butnot sure.. Anyone have suggestions??

Factor out this option if the FITV has been by-passed.. yes, but.. if not then i've seen that be the case in more than one instance
