RPM Fluctuating

Today as I was checking my car I found out that between 1k and 2k rpms it moves up and down at a steady pace but only in park or neutral.I have a SEL code P0420 would this cause the rpms to go up and down or is it something else?

If it turns out to be that then send a PM to DAVEB he will hook you up

OH and!
Check your air filter first to see if that is the culprit sometimes the simplest thing is overlooked.

EDIT: Just read what the code means it can be a few things...Most to do with the air fuel ratio. Also hope you are running premium...low grade fuels will also trigger a SEL.

Cat Converter
Exhaust Leak
Pre-Cat
O2 sensors
MAF
