Default SRS light is permanently on and fluctuating revs on the engine

i have a 1997 civic hatchback 3 door. its done about 75,000 miles. i made an attempt to change the steering wheel once and had the airbag cable disconnected. i didnt end uyp changing the steering wheel and didn't connect the cable back. i hadnt driven the car for about 5 or 6 months. i connected the srs cable airbag cable back then started up the angine. now the srs light is on permanently and it has fluctuating revs.

previously i did have an induction kit, but i then replaced it with the original air intake kit. ive checked the air intake quite thoroughly. it doesn't seem to be the air intake system. thats the only mod that ive had.

someone please try and help me out
thankyou

Fluctuating revs could be a vacuum leak somewhere, or even an air leak when you put back the stock airbox system. Make sure it is installed properly.

The SRS light has been covered many times on h-t. Search for it and make sure to check archived posts instead of recent.

my airbag light was on from the day I bought my car. So I pulled out the gauge cluster and unhooked it

Installing the airbag correctly, but not resetting it will leave the light on. You have to reset it.
