Hey, well my problem started yesterday my car died on me and i popped the clutch to get it started and once it started my idle became loopy reving from 1k and 2800k. I had been meaning to change my intake manifold to a y8 one instead, I got everything hooked up like it should and once again the idle was loopy just as before. The only thing i used off my old manifold was the MAP sensor. I took the car for a drive and it ran great no problems but once it got down to idle again it started, and im stumped I checked for leaks and nothing everything is hooked up were it should be, when i put my hand on the throttle body car stays the same and when i put my hand over the fast idle valve rpm drops but still goes up and down. Does anyone have an idea what it might be?

Vacume leak of some sort. Iacv could be fucked. High idle valve. Spray break cleaner around manifold while u have your hand on thottle bodie see if idle changes

Well I found the problem, apparently it was my rad fan switch that was causing all the problem, thanks for trying to help.
