What do you mean? It's supposed to rev up to around 3000 for a bit and then fall around 1500 until it's warmed...
Are the revs oscillating?

Sounds like a air leak somewhere.

Does it do this when the car is hot? or does it do it when the car is cold? or both cases?

Yeha, I'd want to check to make sure all my grounds as well as my vacuum hoses... Possibly could be out of tune as well...
