Default rpm's going crazy (twice) !!

Stopped in a traffic light and while i was shifting to 1st gear the rpm's went crazy on their on, without even touching the accelerator, only by pressing the clutch. They went sharp and roughly till 1.000 - 1.100 fall down, went up in a strange way - as if someone was accelerating in a progressive, smooth, way - and fall down again. Could this be just a simple "poor gas quality" issue or is it something bigger? Any ideas?

Try cleaning the throttle body.

Done it already tech. Nothing there. As the past days i didn't notice anything similar, i think more and more that it was a poor gas quality issue. I don't know how things are with gas in other places but here... at fisrt you have to trust the gas station owner and the firm he has!!
