Check your IAC, make sure it isn't really dirty, same with the throttle body. Check all your vacuum lines, make sure they aren't cracked or broken. A search on the forum will offer dozens of other potential problems also.

idle air control, it is connected on the left side of your throttle body, off to the side of the TPS

Idle Air Control motor, wire plug and 2 torx head screws hold it onto the throttle body. It has an oring and a cone shaped plunger. Controls the air at idle. When it is fouled or failed it will cause rough idle, or even very erratic idle rpm changes. You can unbolt it, spray it with carb cleaner and scrub it gently with your best friends tooth brush. Gently, don't get rammy with the cone. New here is about $60 at Napa.
