could be a sticking idle air control valve, always worth a try is the tps reset which is
turn the ignition on, pump the accelerator 5 times, then turn the ignition back off again, then start the car, the revs should rise fall then settle steady
its really hard to diagnose sometimes without seeing it, but things to check would be removing the plug leads, and looking in them, if they are black inside then youll need a new set of leads and plugs
