Maybe your throttle body is sticking open. When was the last time you cleaned it?
Use some throttle body cleaner while working the valve open and closed...put a rag in the bottom to keep the liquid from dripping out...then spray both sides with WD-40 to lubricate it.
I have to do this once a week on my car for some reason the carbon deposits build up real bad...
Worth a shot.

Idle Air Control Motor could be stuck as well. Tap it and see if it drops rpms =p .
