its really no big deal in your case... but IF YOUR REALLY want to fix it... not sure how much the actual cost of the part is but I'm guess ~$200. You can replace your fast idle air valve. I would leave it.

I would try running some fuel injector cleaner....use something with Techron in it. It is a good starting point.
