Arduino might not be fast enough for pump control, especially on an unloaded engine where rpm will change very quickly with a small change in fuel. It sounds like your setting the PWM based purely on measured inputs, causing the unstable idle because of the response time and over/undershooting the speed repeatedly. Ideally you'd want something like a PID loop which will quickly stabilize at a constant frequency.
