your problem:

most likely many vacuum leaks, intake manifold gasket and injector seals are most common. I would say it could also be from a worn out ICV, yes they are expensive, but they are they key element of CIS idling. remember any leaks down from the AMM can cause a problem in terms of idle.

Replacing the intake man gasket and injector seals isn't hard, but takes a good 3-4 hours. It wouldn't hurt to replace all your vacuum hoses and/or tighten them down with hose clamps.

good luck
