Default 96 Civic Idles up and down

This is a regular 1.6 OHC Sedan. I bought it a month ago. It was parked for 2 weeks without starting the engine. It took me a while to start the engine. After that the idle started to go up and down. hen I put it in park it goes al the way to 1500 rpm which is not normal. It wa running fine before and i didn't do no other mechanical work to it. I checked all the vacuum lines, they're ok. Has anyone run into this problem before?
Please help

Check to see if your PCV breather is still fine.
