Question type: Maintenance & Repair

my revs are not in sync...the idle rev rises and drops...when AC's on, it stays on 2500rpm...and when i engage to Drive (AT
gearbox), it stays on the 1500rpm idle...i checked the block and the crankshaft is okay and everything is in place...what could it
be? probabilities:
a.) clogged intake manifold
b.) defective air sensor
c.) lose-thread pistons and crankshaft
d.) loose timing belt

when in cruising speed with AC it seems to run fine but when AC's off and i reach about 140-160mph, the engine shakes and idle
is crazy...
