Cleaning out the IACV and the throttle body should help out quite a bit.

^ yep cleaning the IACV and TB does wonders. My max was idling at around 350 to 400 for the longest time and I finally got sick of it and took off the IACV and cleaned it. Took me about 20 minutes to do it because I was taking my time. After I put it back on and started her up it ran just like it had before. I havnt had any problems since.
