750 rpm plus or minus 10 percent is what is says on the sticker on the hood.(if I recall right)
I find around 800 is good..my old N/A ran 780 constant.

It's located on the throttle body on the driver's side and it has a plug connected to it that looks like an injector plug. It also has three hoses running to it as two are coolant and one is air. If you remove the plug there are two terminals on the BAC itself. Supply a ground to one terminal and battery voltage to the other and it should click. Try this a several times to perhaps loosen it up in case it is stuck. Also, after driving the car for a while it should vibrate some for a period of time before going silent. You could also remove the BAC and spray carb cleaner in it followed by trying to get it to click as suggested above to assist in cleaning it.
Orange painted thing that is removed from throttle body and turned upside down showing the opening to the BAC.

i feel like when i start my car after its been sitting for a few hrs is idles from 700 and jumps up to 1100 every second or so. what can this be caused by??
and after the car is warmed up it idles around 400+ maybe.
also i came to find out that my thermostat has been removed from the car and my temp gauge never goes above 1/4%
is this bad

The TPS sensor Green/Red wire nees to read 1 volt w/key to on and engine fully warmed up. There is an adjustment screw about an inch long encased in a spring that is part of the front throttle linkage which is used to adjust the voltage reading back to spec.
As stated already, "your BAC is not working properly" as it is designed to maintain an idle speed of no lower than 750 rpm when it is functioning properly. Obviously yours is not functioning properly.
You need a thermostat.
