The rpm will surge when the vehicle is stopped, to almost 2000rpms and goes up and down. In neutral the rpm is much lower and stable. I have changed fuel filter, plugs, and pcv valve. P0170 code for the check engine light. I cleaned the MAP sensor, disconnected battery and so far the check engine light has remained off for a day of driving. I have also added fuel injector cleaner.
