I mention this one because I just went through it. If the airflow position sensor is not correctly adjusted, it will cause a rough or low idle.
NOO! That's not what I wanted to hear! Just say, "Hey, no big deal! Just turn that screw next to the headlight switch 2 times and sprinkle some glitter on the radiator" or something!!

Now where the devil is that airflow position sensor? EDIT: my lizard-brain forgot that I knew what this was. Awesome. Thanks lizard-brain.

Anyway is adjusting it difficult? It does look a little cruddy... I wonder if a cleaning would help?
