i take it your revs are up and down, one sec at 900 revs then up to 2000 ish then back to around 900.. if thats the case ICV is usually the culprit... you can test if its faulty or not... they sometimes tend to get clogged up if a car breathes heavy.. Oily film in breather pipes... that can clog up an ICV and stop it operating properly
