Default Please Help!!

When I start my car it has a slightly rough idle. (it jumps between 500 and 1000 rpm's). At times it also does this while i'm stoped at red light.

1.Can anyone give me some reasons as to why this may be?
2.And how to make it go away?

Thank! you! in! advance!...

almost 95% positive its a vacuum leak. check all the hoses to your intake and make sure they are not cracked, and they are tight.

Check your Flux Capacitor, blinker fluid, and the search button. This has been brought up at least 75 times this week alone.
