Usually the first thing you look for when you have a fluctuating idle is vacuum leaks.

yea but he had the problem before when it was in his 91 integra he got it swapped in his crx and it does the same i would figure that they would notice a leak if they had the entire motor out already im not too sure though im not a mechanic

Hmm...I think vacuum leaks are the most common, but it could be a lot of other things. I'd say his best bet would be to have it looked at by a reputable mechanic.
