Found the root of my idle issues:
Ran a voltage test on my throttle position sensor, and discovered the readings weren't stable. Closed throttle, it hopped onto 0.51, then spiked to 0.6+ and then dropped down to 0.00 and stayed there until the throttle was hit, then the voltage bounced all over the place.
Luckily I had a factory TPS in my toolbox, so I swapped it over and ran the test again. Voltage is now dead on 0.50 at closed throttle and goes to 4.8-ish on WOT.
Idle is smooth and stable now. It used to drop then rise up to around 2k and hold it. Now it's sitting around 800-ish and revs without fuss.
OH, and I ordered two 35 watt HID kits. One 6000k kit for my headlights, and one 3000k kit for my foglights.
As well as a shorty CB antenna, so I can make my car look a little less radio-controlled looking.
