Your car has a throttle actuator, and it could be causing your problem.

Another item could be the mass air meter.

You should also check for vacum leaks. There is a plastic vauum line at the front of the engine going to the Air Pump switch-over-valve. They commonly crack from heat and this can cause a rough idle.

Have you replaced the spark plugs and the three resistor boots under each coil?
