Several possible problems...most common are:

FITV Needs to be tightened.
IACV Needs to be cleaned.
Vacuum leak around TB/intake manifold.
Possible air bubbles in the coolent system.

Make sure there's no vacuum leaks...then check the FITV, IACV. FITV is probably your problem as it was on mine and seems to be the norm with it coming loose.

Read this thread for FITV (Fast Idle Thermo Valve)

This one for the IACV (Idle Air Control Valve)
