Normal, at least mine does it just after lifting off the gas pedal the revs go dwn to about 400 - 500 then back up to idle speed Its annoying when reversing as I stalled it in front of a load of kids the other week  and they pissed themselves laughing

eh don't. Just clean it lightly, don't move it, push it, force it.

nope, you only need that as either the last of a lot of mods or a 2.3 IIRC. also, just doing an ecu reset (disconnect battery for 15 mins) on the  as the idle has gone..... strange!
