I have a 1998 Ram 2500 with a V8 & 105000 miles. When I am driving, the engine rpm will randomly vary from 1200-2200 rpm without any change in the accelerator pressure. Any suggestions?

It sounds like the idle air control valve or throttle position sensor. Has the check engine light come on? Also, have you checked for vacuum leaks?
