unstable idle

here's my issue, everytime i drive my car for long periods of time, say an hour, when i finally stop driving and just park and idle. my rpm dips down to like 500rpm and jumps back up to 900-1000rmpm. it'll do this a few times then be ok then a few seconds later it'll do it again a few more times. it basically doesn't stop doin this until i shut off the car. my mods are listed in my sig. i was thinkin it may be my greddy rs bov? or my maf sensor? any ideas?

I just started having the same issue recently with no changes to car for about a year. I am thinking dirty maf and dirty cone filter.
