idles up to 2000 then back down to about 1500 then back again



i have 2 videos i made of it


so far i.............

a little history about it i bought the car with some rusted fuel lines in the winter i let it sit until this summer,fixed the fuel lines,it didn't have an air filter so i got one.....the idle was this way ever since i bought it........


check engine light was on i tested it flashed a code for the map sensor.....bought one used put it in now i get NO TROUBLE CODES

and it still idles funny......put it in drive or reverse it runs fine.......

Right now I took off the intake manifold, fuel rail, iac motor, and throttle body

the manifold is being boiled out at a local shop for only $20

when I get everything put back together and cleaned I will post the results.
