very much appreciated so if i spray wd40 in these areas it should stabilisr the idle if there is a leak as the wd40 gets sucked up therefore closes the leak for a few seconds
also noticed the idle starts fluctuating a few minutes after having started the car not straight away

no WD40, use map gas/propane from a hand torch from lowes or home depot, or oxy/acet torch small volume, low pressure.
search and do some reading here and pelican. everything you need to know is free for the reading.
The idle flutter is fixable within reason, and isn't hard to fix. You have to work at it though.

Don't light the propane torch when you use it.

i cant find any air leaks looked everywhere the only thing i did notice is if i disconnect the idle air control valve the idle will still fluctuate does this mean the idle air control valve is not workig this fluctating idle only happens when the car has warmed up
