I have a 1996 GT with 80,000 miles on it and when I am stopped at a light the rpm move from around 900 - 500 and cycle back and forth. It sounds like the car is about to stall, then the rpm's move back up. The car runs fine other then this, is there some way to fix the idle so it stays at a constant rpm? Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
