RE: idle jumpy
Sounds like it might be your iac (Idle Air Control) valve. Thats the thing on the side of your tb. I have the same problem with mine and it throws a iac code evertime I hook it up to the computer.

RE: idle jumpy
IAC's are expensive. Mine cost me $150 canadian. And yes you can run without it, as long as the engine is warmed up. If the motor is cold and you try to start it with the IAC disconnected, it won't stay running unless you hold your foot on the gas a bit.
