Default Engine revs at random

My engine revs at random when i'm stopped, I was wondering what could be causing this. It's a 1997 blazer with 200000 km on it. It's my first car, so I want to make t run for as lo g as possible. I thought it was the spark plugs, but I could be wrong. Any help will help

It could be a vacuum leak. Look for any cracked or missing hoses at and around the intake.

on my 2000 ls ive noticed it will randomly rev up when its down shifting to come to a stop. It will rev and jerk a little...but not all the time. not sure if its the same as you're problem.
