Default Idle RPM not consistant

I have a buddy who has a 2005 Caddy. When he starts it the idle speed goes up and down, but this does not affect the performance. I thought maybe it was an oxygen sensor. Anyone have any other ideas?

Just got an email from my buddy. He just got his car back from the garage. They reset the computer and now everything is OK.

I just wonder if it will last or the problem will show up again later.

that is no so common, but it does happen

what i have seen as most likley issues are:

- ISC,
- coke buildup in intake throat
- ignition issue - coils, wires, plugs, etc,
- emissions controls issues
- grounding issues
- ECU
- valve issues
- etc ..
