Surging Idle?
My car has a surging idle. It'll go up to about 750 RPM and then drops down to 500 RPM. Any ideas about what this might be? Also my battery gauge is reading 8, is that right?

I had a problem like that, only the idle would go from 500 to 750 and back down until it stalled out (happened when the a/c compressor is on). I had to adjust the alternator, but check the battery first.
