Default idles down then dies

its been a while now but my car seems to wanna idle very low then pop back up to standard rpm. every once in a while it dies on me tho when it does this. i also have noticed when i hookd up a air/fuel ratio guage the needle jumps everywhere unless i am flooring it, then it just stays way at the end wich is RICH.

do you have a different intake manifold on your car thats not stock?

We would need some more information on your car, the mods that have been done to it and the things that have been replaced or not have been.
