When's the last time you did a complete ignition system tune up?
Plugs, cap, rotor, plug wires and check ignition timing. Also check idle control valve.
Vacuum leak is also a possibility.

I did all that 10,000 miles ago that's why I have no idea why it is doing what it is doing...

Also check out the TPS - throttle position sensor.

There is a sticker on the underneath side of your hood that tells you exactly how to adjust your idle speed. I would highly recommend you consider doing this step first. This adjustment should be done yearly. If you haven't done it annually, you should do this before starting anything else.
