Idle problem

When my engine is warm, if I come to a complete stop the idle drops every 5 seconds or so. It bounces right back and then does it again. At the same time the rpm's drop, the voltage drops in sync. It continues to do this until I accelerate, then it stops right away, and the voltage stays put just above 13. Any ideas fellas?

Thats the stuff that has the colored plastic chips in the bottom of the can right? If so, that stuff works great!!
