What have you tried so far?

I had a bouncing idle that i solved by adjusting the TPS using the volts method, not the resistance.

Is any part of your emissions system removed?

Solved
MAF sensor wasn’t reconnected…. Plugged that in and now it’s running nice and smooth (everything is stock on the car)
