Looping mean that your car's engine is not maintaining a constant idle speed. So let's say your car is susposed to idle at 600 rpm, instead the engine will go up to 1000 rpm then down to 600 rpm, and it'll continue to go up and down. If your cars engine is idling irratically then, they are correct....

Re: help!! any help at all!!

If this applies to your vehicle. Locate your IAC (Idle Air Control solenoid). Take it out and clean it with a throttle body cleaner and brush. Clean also the inside where the IAC goes in. It is probably gunked up. If not try replacing it.
