idol problem...

wassup guys i'm having an idol problem. Whenever i start my car in the morning or whenever the car is cold obviously you'll have a high idol.

So as i'm driving it gradually decreases. Then all of a sudden at 1500 rpm it'll bounce to 2500 and continue to do so back and fourth when i'm not moving.

It's getting really annoying and i want to know what the problem could be. Maybe timing belt or something with the throttle body? I have no clue, please help me!

Add then bleed your coolant. You may have an air pocket in the thermostat area.
And BTW, it`s IDLE, not idOl, LoL

Or you have a vacuum leak, start with the coolant tho, then go on to the other things

i would say you have a vac. leak somewhere... go to a mechanic to get it fixed. happend to me a while ago with my h22 and it turned out to be the FIAV. cost me around $150 but worth it.
