Same here, they see it and can't fix it. They replaced the PCM and idle
motor, Dodge tech says it's "normal", a little fluctuation is considered
normal when in neutral. 2-300 RPM isn't normal I think, dealer agrees but
can't think of anything else to try. I think it's in the programming on the
computer myself, because the update they released for the cold start problem
dropped the swings down from 500 RPM to 2-300 RPM.
Piece of advice, if you are next to a cop and coming to a light, leave it in
gear until it almost stalls. They give mean looks when they hear the engine
racing up and down. Been there, done that!!

Thanks. I sure did encounter the surging idle. My deal told me that they
see it, but they have no idea why it is doing it. The computer tells them
all is ok. It sure makes driving a stick in traffic VERY difficult. I
always seem to catch the idle on the down stroke and have to double clutch,
as to not stall.
