got my car back yay!!

[98blackcivic]

so for $800, this mechanic replaced my headgasket, bolts, got the head machined(took siezed spark plug out), new water pump, and timing belt...Howard pittman off braselton highway is a good reasonable mechanic and a decent guy!

he also got my driver's side door open and bought from honda, new lock mechanism, window regulator and all that stuff to get my door and power window working again!

am quite happy, heres the weird part...
when i 1st drove the car home, i noticed when i put the car in neutral, its idle would start fluctuating up to 2k rpm and back down, over and over..it was quite weird...
but some how it STOPPED and hasnt done that since...does this sound normal?

this occured during the 1st 3 miles when i left the shop, and then we basically drove the car around for upto 30-50 miles wit no issues...

explain
