Running like its cammed

Running like its cammed
Hey guys, lately my car has been running weird. The idle is all over the place, and occasionally when I rev it, it'll sit at 1500rpm, drop to 1200, than to 600 and than back up to 800 and than it looks like its cammed. I've already cleaned the MAF out, and while I was doing that I realized my air filter was bolted in by 1 of the 4 bolts supposed to be holding it in place. So unfiltered air is getting in, could this be the cause of my problems? I'm ordering a summit by K&N intake tonight to replace the crappy rubber elbow and mac filter I currently have. I might as well change the plugs as the car's got 44k on it and I doubt they've been changed yet.
Also, rolling out in first I sometimes get this horrible death wobble, I was told an aluminum drive shaft would fix this?

So, I'd have to agree with all these guys - It's most likely a vaccuum leak, especially if the hoses, couplings and clamps are original to the motor. If it's still under warranty, I'd totally take it in to see if it's covered.
You're right, though, about it sounding like you've had cam work done. It would sound pretty sweet if it weren't for the fact you KNOW something's bad-wrong. lol
