looping idle

looping idle
Got an 89 Civic dx that after it warms up loops or surges until reved up. Just put new head gasket on, swaped ecu, checked all vacuums, replaced pcv, changed fuel filter, air filter is clean, and have checked most other things. Only thing I haven't changed is the EACV(IACV), and when bypass hose to intake is clamped, idles normal. Any suggestions?

RE: looping idle
Well this model doesn't have a tach, so can't give specifics on range, but it does idle up and down on its own after warmup. It also does it at a fairly fast pace, with variations every couple seconds or less. Like I said above, you can increase throttle and it plains out, but as soon as you release it starts cycling again.

RE: looping idle
So does no one have any ideas, or does no one know what I mean by "looping idle". Basically, I'm having the same problem that the guy with the engine reving up and down, except different engine. I figured that being an older model surely someone in this world has came across this same problem. Used EACVs seemed to be hard to find, and the cheapest aftermarket I can find is at Autozone for $209.00. Sure would be good to have some second opinions before I buy one.
