    The 2800-3000 RPM in park is part of the engine controllers programming. It is there so you cant over-rev the engine. That is the way it is supposed to be. As far as the jerky/stalling issue you may need to clean the throttle body and make sure all the idle air passages and the idle air valve are clean.
