really bad idle problem HELP!!
my idle jumps from 800rpm to about 100rmp and then up again and then just dies on me!! it has no problem or hesitation at all when driving though, does anyone have any experience with this?

Sounds more like a vacuum leak to me. Vacuum leaks act differently on different engines, some engines would idle higher if there is enough fuel getting into the motor, others would start to idle lower.
Have you had this car for long? If you just got it, possibly the idle air screw on top of the TB(n/a) or on the BACV(Turbo) needs to be adjusted to get the idle up. Sounds like your BACV is working.
