My idle surges all the time. I will drive and it will stick at 1500 rpm's. Or when i start my car up it will go right to 1500. It does this off and on. Sometimes it seems if i rev my car up it will go back down.
What should i be looking for? Oculd it be bad o2 sensors, tps, Or vaccumm leak? Thanks for all replies

It can be a lot of things. Pulling the codes from the computer for clues is a good start. Chances are its idle screw/TPS/10 pin connector/vacuum leak related.

A check engine light won't come on for something like this. The check engine light is pretty 'stupid' and meant mostly for SMOG related sensor failures.
