Default Idle goes up and down.

Okay I have a 99 z28 m6. I have a problem where the car will drop at idle when the car is at at stop to about 500 rpms. It will almost stall put when I start to go. Then when I am going about 60 mph and put the car in neutral and it will stay at 1500 rpms until I almost come to a complete stop. When im on the interstate sometimes the car will buck for a split second and then go back to normal. I have 2 SES codes. 1 for EGR, but I took that off. And MAP sensor circuitry. I hate dealing with electrical so I don't know where to begin with the circuitry. But could it be the MAP sensor? I just changed it out.

Checked fuel pressure it is at 62 psi.

I just changed the battery, alternator, MAP sensor and fuel filter. Here is a list of other parts I've changed in the past 2 years.

I would check all vacuum lines and their connections.

Might also want to check the PCV hoses especially the one that goes towards the back of the intake manifold. Mine split where it went around to the back.
