86 turbo surging idle, etc. Please help!

I just bought a non-running 86 turbo with a mint body for $200. I replaced the starter and now it will start right away but the idle is very eratic, going from about 1500 rpm to nearly stalling then surging back up to 1500.
I've let the car totally warm up with no change in idle speed. besides this the engine sounds smooth & strong, I also own an 81 turbo but fuel systems are different and I'm not sure what I should be looking for on this 16 valve, are there any parts that I should replace for trouble shooting, it has 150,000 miles and everything under the hood looks original. Please let me know if you have experience with anything like this. Thanks in advance!
