Possible causes:

-dirty IACV (clean with carburetor cleaner)

-air in the cooling system (bleed)

-check for intake air or vacuum leaks (spray carburetor cleaner around hoses & IM & TB gaskets and look for idle change)

You should try cleaning out your IACV or replacing yours with one that you know works. I had a problem that sounded kinda like this.
