Post 97 Del Sol accelerates and decelerates when parked

when i start my 97 Honda Del sol the motor starts accelerating and decelerating after a minute or so i wonder why it does it sometimes when i am driving and after when i park and wait to see if it still accelerates and decelerates and yes it still does.. so far when i have been driving it occurs...
if you know.. let me know.. thanks

So I'm going to say it starts fluctuating after you warm it up? When you first start up it'll idle at say 2k nicely. After a little bit, it drops to 1k up to 2k back and forth back and forth. Check your fast idle.

IAC is a good one too, check that by unplugging the iac when the car is one and see if it idles smooth.
