Check to see if all your vaccuum lines are still hooked up, one of mine worked itself loose one time and caused a weird idle. Just look at the vaccuum line routing diagram on the underside of the hood.

It's probably the same idle problem that most l4's have, just not as pronounced. Improving your charging system is probably the solution. Search for idle in this forum & you'll see a ton of info.
Of course checking for vacume leaks is a good Idea as well.
