You could have an air leak somewhere, check ALL your hoses for cracks - it's probably a vacuum leak. Failing that, it could be the idle control valve (surprisingly NOT the first port of call) or the airflow monitor, intake gasket, O2 sensor, throttle position switch.....numerous bits and bobs can cause an erratic idle.
