So my car started to idle the rpms keep going up and down around to 0-2000rpm but when i turn on the a/c it stops the idling and when i unplug the iac it stays at 1000rpm, i already replace iac sensor but it still does it and i also replace the throttle sensor. This started ever since my car over heated, i did not notice it was over heating because it was at night and i didn't see the smoke until i saw the speedometer basically the thermostat didn't work so i replace it and the radiator because it was leaking. when i fixed it every thing work fine after couple of days the idling started, so now i can't figure what's wrong with it. also whenever i turn on the car it sounds rough.
 
A compression test will help determine if the engine is sick or healthy. That's a good place to start IMO.
 
Your cylinder pressers should be higher in a n/t compared to a stock turbo engine. The four cylinders should also be close to the same, within 5 or 10psi. Let us know what they are. Anything above 120 should still run at least.
 
Thanks for the help everyone but i found the problem the coolant temperature sensor and the connector did not work. i already replace them and now it's running fine.
