Idle. An idol is something you worship. There are a few things that can make cars idle strange like that, usually it's a sensor problem, or a clogged bypass screen on your idle air control valve (IACV). Do a search, there are many many threads on this topic..

Check your intake manifold there might be a leak, spray some break cleaner around it to check for leaks

You also can use carb cleaner and if your idle drops a little you found your leak. You can also spray the shit out of your IACV with the carb cleaner to clean the screen and inside of it.
