Hi
I have a '97 Eddie Bauer and just had my 'Check Engine' light come on and then go off after about 6 days. It has done this for quite a while now and I finally got it checked out at the dealer. They put it on the computer and found that my Oxygen Sensor was malfunctioning. This was causing the engine to periodically idle strange - the same symptoms that you are having. Engine will rev to 1000rpm for 2 seconds and then down to 400rpm for 2 seconds. Back and forth like this.
It's been a couple of weeks since they replaced the sensor and, knock wood, engine is idling normally.
Good luck,
Larry

yep... my guess would be oxygen sensor... remember that the
explorer has four of them too...
two of mine were bad... replaced them and cleared it right
up...
they're not cheap though... so be ready to shell out some
cash...
