Default 91 Civic DX, motor revs up and down at idle

Hi All,

I have a 91 DX Sedan (1.5L, completely stock) with 235,XXX miles. Recently the motor started to rev up and down for no reason at idle (don't have a tach, but I am guessing it's revving up because of the noise), and it seems like it's running rich too. I've changed the spark plugs and wires and that didn't help. Oil changes on a regular basis, and the car still gets 35+ miles to the gallon.

What could be the cause of the revving up at idle? I am kind of guess fuel filter might need replacing?

Please help. Thanks.

make sure all the vaccum lines are connected on the intake manifold, if one of them is un-pluged, plug it back in or if theres a hole just fill it
