Lower intake leaks are pretty common on those. Look at the fuel trims, short term left and right.If one or both is too high (adding over 5%) chances are the intake is sucking air. Clean the IAC first and the throttle body as mentioned here earlier. See how it turns out. Good luck.
The MAF should be cleaned also, be careful with it so as not to break it.
