High idle + surge

I know that this topics has been covered by many threads, but i can't seem to find a situation that matches mine. From what i've read, high idle is a common problem for a z32. I just got mine and it idles at around 1500-1600 normally. I was told it was the TPS sensor and it wasn't. Not a vaccum leak. At times it will surge quickly from 1500-2000 and back and forth a few times then stop. The more i drive it, the more it seems to surge randomly after i have it let it in neutral. Any opinions? One more thing. I checked the radiator and it has some old nasty rusted water in it. I need to flush it with radiator flush and refill it, but would that have anything to do with it?
