Idling Issues

Whats up guys, im curious to know
and i know alot of you are gonna chirp at me, and u should cause i need to know whats going on with this motor.. it runs mint im doing everything needed to keep it satisfied and some.. but i think its the computer that is faking everything up.. when i idle it ranges from 500-2000rpm up and down up and down.. i think its because its trying to balance out the air/fuel ratio..
this is what has been done to the car
2.5" exhaust
AEM cold air intake
gapped spark plugs
advanced timing

what do you guys think it could be?

Vacuum leak? Maybe a hose is not connected?
My last car did exactly that when it had a vac leak.
