you have to have a vacuum leak to have your idle that high and surging. spray carb cleaner around the intake manifold and see it the car revs up more or chokes up. then check the spot for a leak.

Do all of these codes return after resetting the ECU?

P0113 - Is the IAT sensor plugged in?

P0450 - Is the gas cap missing or is the cap seal broken? This can also be caused by a vacuum leak.

P0108 & P0122 - Are the MAP sensor and TPS connectors swapped?
