something like this is really symptomatic of a clogged cat ... remove the oxygen sensor or downpipe and see if it runs better .. remember to disconnect the oxygen sensor

for anyone that has this problem.. my problem was wire unplugged from jumper harness. the wire for tps/iacv got corroded and disconnected causing fluctuating idle and 22k redline. hope this helps someone in the future because i had a hard time finding anything on this problem

It happened to me once, on a D16y8, the MAP and the TPS connectors were inversed by mistake, the car idled like **** and revved like **** only till about 2k.

The reason for this mistake, both the connector are identical and somehow were not marked during the removal of the intake manifold.

Hope it helps!
