Surging idle after i took it to mechanic

Hey
i went to test drive my 93 fd rx7 after mechanic did some suspension work and now my car is revving to 3000-3500rpm from idle every 5-10 seconds or so. this seemed way more aggressive than a hunting idle.
i turned my car off and back on and it starting revving aggresively so i turned the car off until i can figure it out. at cruising speeds the car would accerate on its a own a bit and backfire sometimes.
ill check any suggestions thanks

What exactly did the mechanic work on? Knowing that may provide a clue. He may have dislodged or damaged something near what he was working on.
