Engine Revs Unintentionally
Mod, please move if this is in the wrong place. Thank you.
While driving on the freeway, even though my foot is steady on the gas, my engine goes through audible cycles. It revs and then is normal and then revs and is normal, etc. This even happens when I'm stopped at a stop light not even stepping on the gas. It doesn't go to a very high rpm, but it doesn't sound right. Any ideas?

Vac leak would be my guess, something in the EGR system maybe. I had this problem on my honda. Gradual revving of the throttle, turned out to be the EGR line or solenoid. Check to make sure everything is plugged in and no cracks in the lines.

I've noticed this problem when my engine is still cold too. When I first start my engine it idles at 1500 rpm once it warms up it drops to about 1000 rpm. But then when I'm at a stop light not even steping on the gas my rpms go up from 1000 rpm to about 1350 rpm. After like 4 seconds it stops and goes back to normal at 1000 rpm. It stops doing this after the engine is fully warmed up. Is this normal?
