the engine revving/idling at a? high RPM for no reason. While driving and idling, when I turn it on first thing in the morning or it starts up mid-drive. Sometimes it is normal and sometimes not. Now it has also begun to die, whether driving or idling. The service engine soon light came on but the code reader didn't detect any issues. What's wrong with it?
 
Sounds like a sensor. If it only happens under load though (in an overdrive gear, AC on, etc) it may be ignition related (burnt spark plug wire in particular).

Check there for codes. Or take it to Autozone/Advance Auto. I know one of those places scans OBD-II for free.
