wierd idle

Ok iver searched like a mad man and cant figure it out.

Ok so my car wont idle but if you give it some gas you can make it keep an idel. So i drove it around the block a couple times and let it warm up pulled into my garage and let off the gas waiting for it to just die but it didnt. It just kinda ideled odly at 2000 but it was rough. I think my cats are clogged and they make a rattling sound whenever i just rev it like there shaking like crazy. So could it be that i have clogged my cats somehow and its causing my car not to idle but when it warms up the cta slet it breath a little letting it idel but high?

If the cats are clogged, it's sure not going to run correctly, but it's not going to cause a 2000 rpm idle. Do a check on the TPS and BAC to make sure they are operating properly, then look for any type of vacuum leak.

TPS, BAC or Vac Leak. Or if your lil hands moved things around they shouldn't have.
