Default Pulsing Idle?

Hey guys, as usual my Del sol Idle's high on cold start, i dunno if its un usually high, but my bro the mechanic (on american trucks though) says so. my D15b7 idles on cold start at 3k usually no more. For the past couple days its been at 3.5k, and after it gets slightly warm it constantly pulses. It will drop down to 1k, then pop back up to 3 constantly almost to a rhythm. It dosnt even stop when the car is warm. This is really getting annoying b/c not only is it costing me money in gas, it is causing my car to stall randomly at intersections, and earlier tonight my tach said it was at 0 rpm, and i had no engine power, only enough to get off the road, but it wasnt stoped? this is weird. Im getting no CEL's so i dont think its an engine problem, maybe IACV or some **** like that. Any Ideas? its really pissin me off and i want to fix it ASAP. thanks guys

i mean it not might be your vacuum lines going out it could be that some of them are not connected or hooked up properly
