Get a can of spray Throttle body cleaner, start the car and spray around, pay attention to vacuum lines and manifold, if the idle changes, you found a leak. You want the engine running and spray on the outside but do direct the stream onto the hoses, if it is a vacuum leak, the engine idle will change speed, then you have detected a leak, repair the vacuum leak and see how it runs!
The other possibilty is the idle air control, it, s bolted to the side of the throttle body.
Also check the PCV hose, they tend to dry out and allow air leaks, test the same way.
