I'd try cleaning your throttle body and check for vacuum leaks, that's the most likely cause of the engine hunting

No problem, i had the same problem when i first got mine, apart from mine would cut out when releasing the clutch, the funny thing is, is that the guy who had it before me thought that was normal and just put with it without checking it out.
