It's known as a surging idle. It's usually cause by adjusting things that shouldn't be, removing things without replacing the proper gaskets, aka a vacuum leak or it could be a dirty IAC valve.

There are a few threads covering the surging idle issue. There are a couple good threads in the FAQ that you should look into.

And if all else fails you could try adjusting the FIT valve
