ive replaced the isc, tps, adjusted the tps, cleaned the tb, and im stumped. i start the car, the rpms stay extremely low and alomst stalls until i give it gas, then i drive it and when its idling, the rpms stay at around 2k. then a few minutes into the drive itll surge between 1.2k to 1.7k. i need help real bad
 
from what i know theyre stock injectors. i never changed them. also could this really be boost leak related? id say thisd have to be a pretty big boost leak
 
Actually yes, during my efforts to find a shop to do a boost leak test, my engine threw a p0505 code again -__-
 
I've been throwing a P0170 code which is a fuel trim code and my car idles kind of high as well at like 1500 rpms and as I drive it sometimes goes back to normal and it also surges at times. Not a lot it only happened a few times... any input?
 
Dang... my car just started the idle surge thing this past week as temperatures started to be in the low 40s :( Although, I know I have a few bad boost leaks that need some fixing.
 
it sounds like a vacuum leak . you should try a smoke test to find the leak .vacuum leaks will cause high idle and surging .
