The skip, I'd go first toward the plug wires (460 has a lot of heat buildup), the surging idle, I'd look at the IAC motor.

sorry I didnt give enough info,,the plugs,wires dizzy cap and rotary button all new..I removed the iac and cleaned it good and it didnt help,,perhaps you are rite abt the iac it must be bad ,,I will try a new one but the skip will still be there Im sure...any more suggestions,, each time the skip occures the amp gauge takes a dive and then comes rite back up,, it almost sounds as if the engine has been shut off but it will come rite back to proper idle and in a few seconds it will do it agn...cld the tps have any control over this action...the engine has only 49000 mikles on it so it sits a lot as most motor homes do...
