If that doesn't line things out, I'd try TerribleONE's clean-the-MAFs suggestion. Another cheap (can of MAF cleaner) and easy (two small bolts per MAF, no gasket to replace) job.

If the MAFs are visibly dirty it'd be a good idea to clean the TBs but that's a harder job that may require some recalibration if you mess up.
If you clean your TBs don't unplug them. I did mine and all my idle issues went away.
Use a lot of rags under them. I rotated intake down with rags everywhere. Spray cleaner and use a lot of q tips to get it all out.

Unplugging them is when you require recal. It isn't a big deal and I know somewhere on this forum there are detailed instructions on how to do it. I chose the not unplugging method. Worked great for me. Also clean the MAP sensor as well.
