Hi guys! Just got my 767!  
Im noticing that as its cruising (even now) the throttle keeps going forward for a few then back down then up, etc.  

Any thoughts?

You may also find that it could well be an FSX or hardware Calibration issue. I have a number of Heli's that the collective bounces up and down. As it's having no adverse effects on the actual aircraft I tend to ignore it. I know it doesn't look nice but have not as yet found a cure.

Well, if the A/T holds the assigned speed, I wouldn't worry much about the throttles dancing (unless it has a negative impact on the engines).

I believe it isn't necessary to reinstall fsuipc. When autothrottle [A/T] is engaged, the throttle levers movement is normal, like in real planes, "...going forward for a few then back down then up, etc...".

See http://www.wisegeek.com/what-is-an-autothrottle.htm (last paragraph)

"...this device controls the amount of thrust an aircraft's engines develop by increasing or decreasing their fuel flow. In some cases, the system will also physically move the throttle levers in the cockpit as is the case with Boeing and several other aircraft types. In other aircraft such as Airbus products, the throttle levers remain static even if thrust is being manipulated by the autothrottle."
