Is this indicative of an iac failure? It raises up then lowers in all of the span of about 1 1/2 seconds. Like it would be bouncing off rev limiter, but in the lower RPMs.

Check to make sure your dashpot is adjusted properly

Mine does something similar. When started from hot, idle will drop to 450/500, then speed up to 1000. Continuing this pulsing it will sometimes stall. Strangely, when you drive it for a few minutes, it will idle properly.

Exact same symptoms.

What is that?

What is that?
The bulb on the throttle body that prevents the blade from slamming shut in the TB bore and sticking closed. It's on the left side, and has a white plastic plunger that contacts the throttle linkage. Adjusted with a jam nut/threading. Back it off a bit and see if it helps the situation.
I had an issue on one of my engines where the dashpot would pop the throttle open, it would rev up and build vacuum, suck the plate closed, idle down, less vac, pop open, cycle repeated.

Why would this just happen out of the blue, though?

See my thread. Try disconnecting the TPS and see if the pulsing idle goes away.
Just remember, the car won't start with the TPS disconnected but will run if you disconnect it after started.

noooo it should start with tps disconnected. i ran mine that way for 15 months before solving the issue it had when connected....
