Is it timed right?

Its actually normal for your car to idle high then drop to low. When the car is cool it needs to heat up so it idles higher. It only does that with an aftermarket intake though. Your car should be ok for emissions, but they may tell you to rev it to a limit. OR just turn up the idle screw after the engine is warm

did you properly bleed the coolant system?

you can start by checking your iacv, and iacv seal. and also check your fitv.

thats probably your air flow sensor. Did you have an aftermarket intake?

sounds like a vaccum seal, or perhaps the iacv seal itself is leaking.

nah. i have the stock intake box. but i did take off that huge part that goes under the intake box, kinda looks like a trap. i was also wondering, wud the o2 sensor be bad and cause this type of problem. it's jus a steady jump from like 1300-1400 rpm, and i bled my system today, and after it was runnin for like 10 mins, it stopped, cud air pockets have caused this?, i haven't gone out to test it again, but soon as i do, i'll post up and let u guys kno wat happens
