if it idles irradically then you may have a vaccume leak or maybe its just the iacv but if its idling constantly at like 450-500 you can just adjust the idle.

Theres a little screw on the intake mani used to adjust the idle

you can use a screwdriver. flat head. you might want to change your pcv valve. had the same problem when i first did my swap, came out to be a bad pvc valve.
like $3 to fix.
