I cannot get my car to idle lower than 1k rpm.
Once i get it lower it surges.
If I turn on my lights when it is idleing at 1000 it surges again

ok, you know the 2 holes in the throttle body. Remove the intake snorkal. With the engine running cover the lower one completly with your finger. Does it idle correctly? If it does your F.I.T. (fast idle thermo valve) sucks. next when the car is warmmed cooling fan came on/coolant tempreture gauge reads half way. Slowly cover both holes in the throttle body with your fingers, when I say slowly I mean slowly. If the engine dies thats good, if it still idles it means you have a vacuum leak at the throttlebody-to-intake gasket or you have a intake-to-head leak or you have a fuel injectors -to-manifold leak or one or more of your hoses are cracked or misrouted. I'm dl your video as i write this so I take a look.
