Default b16 purring like a cat?

sup guys my bro has a crx with a b16a in it and after awhile while driving or coming to a stop it sounds like it is purring like a cat off and on, it seems like when stopped the idle goes up and then down by the sound of the engine. there is another thread posted that may be of similarence and he said that his cars rpm's go up and down after racing and it might be because it wants to go or be raced. But my bros car rpm's dont do this but it would make sense that my bros problem could want to do the same thing, race. Anyone know what it could be or how to fix it?
