Hey everyone, my engine idles real strangely. I start the engine and everything runs fine and I can drive the car, but when I put the car into neutral or park, the engine revs up to 2k as its idle and then bounces between 2k-3k like mad. It sounds like my car is gonna tear itself to pieces!! Whats wrong? Im thinking it has to do with engine timing and if it is how can I adjust it?

Yep Junior and rjbibeau were right. My friend said my Idle Air Control Valve was messed up and I got it replaced and now everything is hunkey dory again
 *Well everyone is kind right because I also got a tune up and got just about everything replaced  *
