rpm moves up and down at idle sometimes

my rpms keep moving at idle does it every few minutes or so.. Not a huge move just a little movement. What can be the problem?

no problem. RPM's goes up to charge your battery. Your fan probably went on and it needed a lil juice to the alternator to charge the battery.

I had a similar problem after i adjusted my belt tensioner. I reset my ECU a couple times and it went away. Weird, but it worked

You would have other symptoms like stuttering when accelerating if it were your coilpack. Clean your IACV, TB and Seafoam injectors.
