jumping RPM

Not really sure where to put this, so i guess herel work...

I've got a 91 Firebird Formula with a 305 TPI motor. recently it's started to jump 200-400 RPM randomly going down the road. I'll just be driving, motor will rev up slightly, then drop back down. Any ideas?

Re: jumping RPM

also, if it's not warmed up, enine speed will go from about 900 down to 300-400 and start to die. And if you have it at an idle and go to take off it hesitates, starts to die, then takes off

IAC?

Re: jumping RPM

just pulled the iac, theres this "crusty" green residue stuff that came out with it, just a little lighter than the color of antifreeze...
