Default rpm's is going crazy!

My rpms is going up and down. It goes from 1000 to 1600rpm and it keeps going and going. Up and down and up and down. Kinda like its breathing. What's my problem?

Check ur IAC, not always it... but usually. Its behind the intake manifold, it looks like a cylinder with 2 12mm bolts in it.

your map sensor is right on top of the TB...just replace it. clean the iacv and see if that fixes it first.

Start by checking for a vacuum leak.
IACV = Idle Air Control Valve.

That's a vacuum line going from the intake manifold to the brake booster. If it had a crack in it, it would definitely cause your problem.
