Another air-related suggestion: When the car is warm and the idle is
fluctuating, remove the air cleaner pipe to the throttle body. Can you
progressively cover the throttle body with your hand to the point where the
idle settles down?

What happens if you unplug the EACV? That's the idle air control valve
behind the throttle body. Sometimes a stuck-open EACV causes fluctuating
idle.

And did you check the coolant in the rad, not the reservoir?
