Is the AC on? in my 01 s60 the RPMs go up and down from 500-1100 when the AC is on and I am idling... I thin cars just do this when I idling with the AC on. My S60 is just a bit more noticeable

I would clean the throttle body and see if that fixes it.

ok this may help you guys a little bit more, it only does it in drive and when im sitting there, i ALSO noticed it only happens when im getting fast food (which means sitting in drive holding the brake for a long period of time, it seems like the lights in the dash dim when it serges

I would see if the neutral control has been disabled. The Dealer should be able to run the Vin# and tell you if it has been done.
