Unsteady Idle

My car is an auto idle is around 550 but sometimes it like vibrates like its jerking real slightly, like the idle is fluctuating between 550-575 which makes the lights on the dashboard to flicker a little what could be up? I already clean the TB.

Already replaced the knock sensor because that was bad when I first purchased the car last year.
