Default '90 Coupe with a strange idle

My 90 coupe recently went in for service about a year ago, at which time a bunch of (not sure what all) rotted hoses were replaced. It's been running fine, but recently it's started to idle strange.

After the car is warmed up, I'll come to a stoplight, and with the clutch in and my foot off the gas, the revs will slowly climb to 12-1300. When it hits the top mark, it misfires its way down to about 7-800, then climbs again to 1300, misfires & drops, climbs, misfires, climbs, etc... Each up and down cycle takes about 5 seconds, so it's not a real rapid acceleration.

At a glance, I can't find anything loose. I've got to believe this is a vacuum issue, but I can't see it and I don't have gauges. Any idea on the best place to look?

Unhappy Never got caught

 An applicant was filling out a job application. When he came to the question, "Have you ever been arrested?" hewrote, "No."  The next question, intended for people who had answered in the affirmative to the previous question, was "Why?"  The applicant answered it anyway: "Never got caught."cheap wow power leveling --------------------------------buy eq2 plat, eq2 gold, everquest platinum, rs gold, silkroad gold,
