My problem just started yesterday, and had the Cat removed, It was cloged, I thought that would solve the problem but it did'nt it still seems to idel @ 1200 rpms to 2000 it just bouncles back and forth which is too high. I cleaned the throtle body which was dirty, and it still doing the same, I was woundering if i had someone run a (code read.), and tell me if it a sensor? 
 
 Thanks for the Time.

did you put the 2nd o2 sensor back in?
Did you replace your old cat with a new one?
 
 
I never took the sensors out, was'nt sure which one to replace. and no i removed the cat completly.
 
the problem started yesterday and the first thing you did was remove the cat?
Please step away from the car.  seriously.
Check for a vacuum leak first. check the Tps and the Iac.
