Random changes in idle would sound like either a dirty IAC or a vacuum leak to me. Which happen to be two common, cheap and simple problems. Remove the IAC, clean it real good and reinstall it. Then with the engine running, spray starting fluid around the rubber hoses, if the engine rev's up, you sprayed near a vacuum leak.

Start here and get these out of the way, then it would be time to dig a little deeper if it persist.
