 We need a few details like year, miles, what has been done in the way of mods, maintenance, etc., to better help you figure it out.

Check all ignition system components. Run the fuel pressure tests in the service manual looking for leakinjg or fouled injectors. Make sure the throttle body is clean. The throttle plates are clean and the throttle shaft bores are not so worn that the TB is leaking. Verify that the oxygen sensors are in good conditions. Make sure the engine controls' grounds at the back of the block are clean and tight. Lastly, the factory Service Manual may offer additional information on solving a rough or unstable idle problem. As for the dual mass, if it's making noise, particularly, if, when you turn the key off, you hear a "rattle-rattle" just as the engine comes to a stop, the assembly needs to be replaced. Good luck.

Since you will most likely have to remove the plenum, this site should help if you haven't done it before. http://www.bcvettes.org/?http://www.bcvettes.org/howto/
