Default inconsistent rpm

hello
its a 2007 H3
can anyone advise me why my RPM ( at neutral or very slow speed) becomes incosistent ? I mean the vehicle seem to stall and all of a sudden the RPM rises thus preventing the engine to shut off, otherwise when i hit the gas pedal everything goes normal ??

Moved to the H3 section where you can get an answer to your...... H3 question.


How many miles?

Like all fuel injected GM vehicles, you need to clean the Throttle Body after 30-50K miles. Search out the throttle body (TB) cleaning threads. Use Throttle Body Cleaner. While you are messing with that, might as well clean the MAF using MAF cleaner.
