Default Please Help! Car is idling funny.....rev's shoot up in cycles

The car idles at about 600rpm's or so, and then in predictable cycles (you can count 1,2,3...rev)
it jumps up to about 1100 rpm...like I'm blipping the gas.

I have no idea what this problem is since I have no technical ability at all.

I'm wondering if it's the MAF that so many people have had problems with.

The only mods I have are an intake and exhaust.

Please offer any help you can

Thanks

Default What is the timing? Revs go up when the A/C compressor kicks in, then drops back down

when the compressor goes back off. If the cycles are a minute or so, that is probably what it is. Confirm by switching to "Econ", which won't run the A/C.
