Pulsating Idle Program

Pulsating Idle Program
I have been having a weird idle on my 2001 v70, while the car is in park or shifted into drive sitting at a stop light. The engine will idle regular then it begins a patern where the rpm's drop for a second then runs fine for about 3 seconds and continues in a rhythmic pattern, as long as the car is sitting still. About a month ago The engine started miss firing and had a horrible shake while the car was in park, drive sitting still, or while the car was attempting to be driven. I Had the code of Po304 and took it to a local shop, Not a Volvo shop... He told me exactly what it was and corrected the problem of the horrible shaking and the pulsating idle for total price of $200.00. The mechanic changed the spark plugs and and replaced one ignition coil... The car worked great for about a week and the weird, rhythmic, patterned idle returned... Can someone tell me what the problem may be creating this pulsating idle before I bring it to the shop again.
