Check and verify a couple of things
1) Vacuum leaks can cause this
2) TPS may need adjustment
3) If the throttle plate initial setting is too large, it will also cause this
Finally, do a search on pulsing idle or hunting idle and you will find lots of stuff to read about the problem you're having.

There are on-line factory service manuals for our cars. Look under the FAQ thread in 2nd generation. Details for all kinds of adjustments are in there. There are two or three methods for checking and adjusting TPS settings....twin test light, Resistance at the connector and voltage at the ECU. Search for TPS adjustment and you'll find details.
