Possible throttle body ‘coking’ - recommend professional cleaning.

Is your throttle body acting up? When your throttle body isn’t working properly, some red flag symptoms would be an extra-high idle, or an extra-low idle. With a low idle, you might even notice your vehicle stalling out at red lights. Low idle speed typically is the result of throttle blade coking, restricting airflow, and essentially snuffing out the combustion inside your engine) More information: http://knowhow.napaonline.com/what-is-a-throttle-body/
