At idle, is it bouncing from 1-2k? Had the same problem when I got my car off my brother. Try bleeding the coolant if you haven't already.

A few things can cause that.

Air pockets in the cooling system like a.newhouse says.
Vacuum leaks
Bad, sticky IACV
Loose plunger inside the FITV
Improper adjustment of the boost valve on the other end of the intake manifold.
