Mine does that sometimes. Is your car supposed to idle at 1K? Mine is supposed to be at 700-750rpm. Should be a screw somewhere that allows you to adjust it.

what motor is in your car? If its a turbo, check for boost leaks, mine was doing the same thing for a while and i sealed up all the small boost leaks and now it idles perfect.

i had that problem also when my engine reved from like 1.5 k to 1 k at idle... i figured out i had a bad IAC Valve (Idle Air Control) and once i got that fixed it was all good.
