Default Idle Problem with my 1990 / 80 2wd 8V Automatic

I couldn't find anywhere here where it's discussed about idling problems so here I go.
Gradually my idle started getting bad until now it's almost impossible for it to run unless I give it gas. After about 30 seconds it starts to improve and after 2 min it runs great. I have looked for vacuum leaks and loose hoses but no luck.
Idle stabilizer valve maybe? Is it possible to test it?
Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks
Tony

it is possible the ISV is bad, try cleaning it with brake cleaner and the WD-40
