Fluctuating idle is usually one of two things:
1) Great big air leak (often the Fast Idle Thermo Valve), or
2) Low coolant.

Start by checking the fluid level in the RAD with the car COLD. If that's
OK, remove the air cleaner pipe amd cover the LOWER port in the throttle
body with your fingers. Does the idle settle down?

More detail about your car would help a lot.
* When exactly this "jumping" occurs
* Mileage
* Transmission type
* Car's history
* Recent work preformed
* Recently neglected maintenance items
* etc.
