I need some help concerning a 2001 MDX. I have never had any problems with
my vehicle; however, I started it today and the engine is idoling higher
than normal. Then after about 30 seconds of the high idol. The engine
will gun up and down without me touching the accelorator. The RPMs go
from about 1200 rpm to almost 2500 rpm in an oscillating. Does anyone
have any insight as to what the problem may be? And how serious the
problem is?

It is more than likely a failing idle control valve. However you could try
to take it off and clean it but this may not work. Replacement recommended.
