Fluctuating tickover & stalls. 1996 2.0L 406GLX

This problem being a fluctuating tick-over of between 400 to 900 rpm.
This often involves the engine stalling.
Apart from embarrasing, its also dangerous.
Have done the de-coke of stepper motor, to no avail.
Any further advise please ????
Thanks, Dave
