1999 Volvo C70 Front Wheel Drive Automatic 124000 miles

My engine is a 5-Cylinder Turbo charged. When operating my car in 'Park' or "nuetral' my engine revves (from an idle RPM to a higher RPM) in an oscillating fashion. This does not happen when the car is in 'Drive' or 'Reverse'. Any idea what's causing this?

The idling speed is higher than expected causing the surging.
