I have cleaned the entrance where the butterflies are with a special cleaning spray and it has not worked. Then I pulled the idle screw and it seems that the board is wrong. As I didn't have a joint at that time, I reassembled it and even tightening the screw, the car is going well and I have managed to leave it at 900 rpm. Tomorrow I will buy a new board to see if the whole problem is there.

Replace the screw and turn it all the way in, Then back it out about 1/2 to 3/4 turns and you should be good to go.
Oh and check all your vacuum hoses, they are the bane of dubs. That screw if loose (finger tight spinning when you move it) is a vacuum leak as well.

Before it also went up and down revolutions and now is more stabilized.

You were right. It could be removed with the fingers, too easily. Now it gets harder.
I back it out 1/4 turn, but on the weekend I'll try it better. Now it's at 850 rpm
Thanks for your help

850rpm is a little low and the idle control valve might be keeping the car idling….

DX engines idle should be at 950 to 1000rpm.
