Engine reving up and down at idle.
It's happening in a friends car. Began when he was at a stop light and the engine started to rev up and then down.. He says it felt like the car was gonna blow up.. He made it home but we can't think of what the problem could be.. I thought maybe the lcuthc was sliping but he has a fairly new clutch and the car is bone stock. I haven't had a chance to drive it but we started up before work and while parked in neutral it was reving up and p then down and then up again. throttle body was also just replaced.. and ideas?
thanks in advance.

It could be your idle air bleed screw in the throttle body, I bet the new one isn't set at the same point the old one was and the ECU is trying to figure it out. Take off the intake elbow, screw the idle screw all the way in and then back it off 1/2-3/4 of a turn, clear the ECU and restart the car.. let it idle for 10 minutes and the idle hunting may disappear.
