Default What Next? to Fix Dipping/Low Idle on GSR

what else needs to be replaced to cure dipping/LOW idle on '94 Acura Integra GS-R?

My Symptoms: 1500rpm idle after cold startup & 700-750rpm idle after warmup but, the idle/tachometer consistently drops down to 500-600rpms when coming to a stop or when coming out of gear and feels as though the engine is going to die/cut out with an erratic idle feel then will climb back up to the normal 700-750rpm idle.

what else needs to be fixed/replaced? i have listed all the parts i have fixed/swapped out so far and read every TI archive here so i would greatly appreciate any help or information especially from those that have suffered the same or if there are any honda/acura mechanics here that can help me or point me in the right direction...please! thank you.
