So I got my car started after it had been sitting for 6 months......

When i start the car it goes up to 2500 rpm then down to 900 where it should be, then back up, then down etc

Even when driving, ill pull up to a red light and it does the same thing.....when I have the AC on it seems to affect it.....less drastic up and down but still isnt steady....

start with cleaning the throttle body and idle air control valve and check the vacuum hoses going to the TB to make sure they arent cracked
