jumpy revs during idle and running 1.8 b4 wagon

as title suggests,when it starts up sometimes the revs jump straight to 11-13 then dive to 5,then they duck and dive,it also does this while under power.if I blip the throttle it occasionally settles to around 10 until the choke lets off but not always,it appears to be getting worse or at least more...
