Recently have been struggling with an odd Idle issue. Once the car gets to operating temperature the cars idle will drop down to 500rpms and bounce back up to 800-950rpms. If your sitting at a light for more then 10 seconds it will start bouncing around. Only discovered this after filling up with e85. I did not test the fuel when I filled up, however, I did test it a few weeks ago at this exact pump and it was e85. Car has been tuned and never had this issue before. I emailed my tuner a datalog at idle but have yet to receive a response. I'm sure he's super super busy with it being race season. Info on car:

Went through a rebuild and everything listed is new, 7xx miles on rebuild;

Kenne Bell 2.6
VMP3000 MAF
ID1000 Injectors
Lethal Return Fuel System
Kooks Long Tubes
Accufab TB

Any suggestions would be great.

Cleaned the IAC today and it was really dirty. Did not solve the issue. I cant' imagine it would be the fuel filter however I'm going to clean it later today.

No CEL's.

I used to deal with this issue in the past and it could be either a bad IAC, MAP or a vacuum leak. spray carb cleaner and see if the idle changes.
