When I turn on my heater, idle gets jumpy

My idle is normaly around 600 and pretty stable, but when the heater (on hot, cold, vent defrost, makes no differance) turns on it will drop down to 500, idle normally for a minute, go back up, go down again, and just keep going. The voltage also jumps around a little when it does it.

sounds like you have a vaccum leak somewhere within the climate control system...
