Idle with dips... Why???

Hi everybody:)
As long as I own my truck, On LPG, as well on gas, idle is at 750revs, but after a couple of minutes the dips occur... and sometimes the engine stalls.. Everything what has do with "making sparks" in new.. New valves, new Hego and new MAPsensor.. the only thing what's not onboard is the smogpump..
Sometimes I do have the idea ,that during idle the Hego cools down a bit..
does anyone has suggestions?

best regards Ton

Have you cleaned/swapped your idle air control or checked your TPS sensor Ton?

Goodmorning Justin;
I've bought a brand new TPS sensor and I've cleaned the IAC valve.. TPS is checked an gives a good voltage an IAC gives a neatly 1100revs when starting cold... What else can I measure on the IAC?
Thank you very much for you input:)

Anytime I`ve had one of these trucks rev up then idle down to the point where they`ll stall it`s been the IAC. I`ve cleaned them, put them back on, fired them up and they are fine. Go out the next day and right back to where they were. I`m not saying it`s your problem, but if you can get another one to try that might not be a bad idea. Have you checked for vacuum leaks?
