Like the title says, my car is fresh out of a rebuild and after you turn it on, it just keeps searching for a spot to idle at, constantly surging, need help
Fresh rebuilding searching for idle need help

Well the obvious first question I'm gonna ask is do you have an codes? There's a few things that will do that. The first being the tps. You'll need to set it if you haven't already. The other cause, which was my case, is a bad connection from the harness to the isc. I actually had to change my entire harness, let's hope that's not the case for you.
Yes, check your tps as well as every other connector to make sure they are plugged in. Does it die when you hit the gas? If so, I would check your maf. Also check vacuum lines, a vacuum leak will make it idle funny.
ok so i tried checking for codes, but nothing came up, all i got was two blinks then pause and two blinks and continue that pattern, and ive checked the connectors and nothing is disconnected
also my car is running really hot, i have no clue why either

From the wise words of Aaron at Driftmotion, he says i prolly have an intake leak, that's why I've got a surging idle, and what i mean by hot is that my temp gauge goes up and down near red and back to normal, this is after i got a new temp sensor, and new radiator and hardwired it to see what was going on

i checked all over, i sprayed starter fluid where the intake runners meet the head, where the intake mani meets the runners and at the egr, and also at the throttle body, would the throttle body gasket if it was cut a little bigger do anything like that?
check the iacv gasket I just did a rebuild and mine was having a hard time staying on it would die out. Come to find out the gasket was ripped a bit and I replaced it and runs great.
