Well the engine does high rev every 30 seconds
or so. No matter if engine is warmed up or not.

I hope you have not tried to mess with the idle stop screw.

You may have a bad IAC ( idle air control) but try eliminating any and all vacuum leaks and cleaning the throttle body first. Remove the intake snorkel, have someone hold the throttle wide open for you and scrub the back side of the throttle plate and surrounding bore with an old tooth brush and some carb cleaner. Be sure to spray some into the small holes next to the throttle plate. That should help stabilize the idle. If it still has a problem, replace the IAC.
