Default Car Issues & I need your help

I gave my lil brother my 95 Ti and now he says that it idles on its on, meaning the rpm's go up and down like someone is lightly taping the gas, what can this be a sign of?

My idle would vary a little and I found a crack in the tube that comes off the intake boot and goes to the injectors.

It went away after I fixed that.

The boot itself is prone to cracks between the ribs as well.

Look for vacuum leaks first then clean the ICV.
