Not much to go on.

Freebies (almost)
Old gas.
Check your fuel pressure. Need 40+.
Check for vacuum leaks. Cover the iac intake port by pulling the intake tube and cover the hole in the bottom of the TB with your finger. Should cause the engine to die fairly quickly. If not could be leaks.
Run the engine in the dark and look for sparks/arcs on the plug wires or else where.
Timing.
Disconnect egr valve line.
Check to see if your EGR pipe is broke.
Add/check grounds to the engine.

$ item.
Module.
pickup coil.
plugs
wires
coil.
map sensor
temp sensor
bad/sticking injector. (do a balance test)
worn timing chain.

Sure there is more...

If its been sitting for a while, top off the tank with premium.......gas gets old and the hi-octane will refresh it. plus add a botle of fuel-line anti-freeze to absorb any moisture that condensed in the tank

I put 15 bucks of the good stuff in today and the car went from wont idle at all to purrs like a kitten.

Ahh missed that one. Added it to the list. Think I'll keep adding and have a all inclusive list of things to try for idle problems.
