I have been through this problem over the past few weeks and found the following to correct my problem.

1: The temerature sensor was changed. ( Blue sensor at front)

2: Throttle body cleaned with Carb Cleaner. Be careful not to scratch ventura and be judicious with how much cleaner you use

3: once this is done find someone with VGA-COM to reset the ECU and re-learn parameters.

Hope this helps

If the above fails then search 'irratic revs' issue and you'll find plenty of threads lol. I've practically given advice on all of them as mine had similar issues. You'll find other potential culprits if the temp sender and throttle cleanign fails.
