funny idle

okay, so i've got some funny idle going on here, when warmed up the motor will rev from 1000rpm to 2000rpm's on its own, then when i shift at about 3000 i let of the gas and it'll stay pinned at 3000 for about 3 seconds afterwards.

its also leaking coolant but i think i know where thats coming from.

any help?

Sounds like your throttle plate is sticking.

okay, so i thought i had an intake gasket leak, this is what i was told from a buddy of mine, changed the intake gasket, doesn't leak coolant anymore.

buuut.

it will rev from about 750 up to 1000 rpm, cut out and do it again.
i'm clueless now. any ideas?

search for "fluctuating idle" and read until you're tired of it.
