Here are some simple things to check first with an idle problem: Check that the idle switch is correctly adjusted and then watch with an ohmmeter to be sure that it is indeed functioning Check for power to the idle circuit Visually check all hoses and wiring connections, look for disconnected or loose hoses, plug and unplug the wiring looking for corroded connections and be aware that sometimes a wire clip backs out of a plug so it is still in there but when connected is not making contact, also make sure that the contacts aren't green (corroded). Finally go to the idle computer and check all of the wiring point to point, the computer itself doesn't have a high failure rate, it is usually a failure of other components in the circuit. Last thing to check are the 3 screws in the air induction, 1 is an idle speed and 2 are mixture. In this application they are not used but someone may have turned them. Just LIGHTLY turn them all clockwise untill they are seated. If you have to touch them ie: they were adjusted previosly then you may have to readjust the mixture screw in the fuel distributer. By the way make sure that there is some kind of plug blocking the access hole to the mixture screw or you will never get it to idle right. More likly than a bad idle computer would be a defective idle speed motor.
