Is the check engine light on? If so, run it for codes - a bad MAP sensor would make the CEL turn on.
Fluctuating RPM is usually sign of a vacuum leak, if you pop the hood while the car's running, you might be able to hear a hissing sound from a hose or somewhere (revving the engine helps). Replace vacuum hoses if needed, they're dirt cheap.
