Why do my RPMs go up when I brake going downhill?

If the transmission is engaged and the engine is connected to the wheels, as the wheels pick up more speed due to gravity, the engine RPM goes up during a downhill descend.

Why do my RPMs jump while idling?

An idle surge can be caused by multiple phenomena. The idle air controller is simply a computer-controlled motor that controls idle. There could also be another sensor that is telling the computer to compensate, and in turn, this causes the idle to surge as it looks for the correct RPM level.
