Default Idle problems... any ideas?

Hey guys.. I got a little problem with my car right now. if its not one thing, its another. If i start up my car, it seems to pick a random RPM to idle at... sometimes it sits low, 750 or 1k, or sometimes it picks numbers as high as 3k. It also picks anything between there. I can shut the car off, turn it back on, and the RPMs are different again. If i drive it, the rpms will again kinda raise and and sometimes lower throughout the ride. Ill shift it into neutral when Im riding at itll be at 1.2/1.5, two blocks later it could be up to 2.5 or 3k. any ideas on what the problem might be? I know its not heathly for me to be driving it like that...
