Unhappy Bouncing idle

I have a 1998 Accord EX 2.3 ULEV VTEC automatic. lately I have noticed two things with the idling. One: When I slow down and come to a stop, my idle bounces a little between 1 and 2000 RPM. Second: My car is idling really low...like around 500 RPM. Any ideas as to what is going on with my car. I tried spraying my MAP sensor clean but that doesnt seem to work. Thanks!

Search for stuff I've written about setting the "BASE IDLE". Try that.
