Ill let you know before anyone else gets to ya. Learn to use the search function, and welcome to the forum.

But it sounds like you have a vacuum leak. Check the Air intake hose, make sure it doesn't have any cracks in it. Take it off very carefully, and check for holes. Or you could spray some wd-40 around it while its on, and check for your idle to jump. Double check all of your lines.
