Default Somewhat random high idle

(eg with b16a2)

so the other night i'm driving home and i come to a light and its idling at about 1400rpm, i think "wtf?"

i didnt think anything of it, but when i got home it was still idling high. so the next day on my way to work i hit vtec a few times and when i get to work its idling fine (~700)

the next day its fine, but then today on my way to class its idling at 1200 or so, wtf?

should i try sea foam? i hear that fixes erradic idle problems sometimes...

if so i heard that it can kill your o2 sensor, there is a new sensor in the car and i dont wanna break it... so... should i just unplug it or completely take it out?
