Could have to do with you crushed cat if its that bad, if your exhaust is that beat up it could be related to a couple things. Do you have a check engine light on or anything?

I had the extact same thing going on,it burned out the converter,& woundn't pass smog. With a brand new LC engine ! Rpm's would go up & down only from one range. That was the cold start injector putting fuel into the engine because the tem was staying low. Just pull the theromstat & see that it's not stuck open!
