Were you running low on fuel when it happened? Or perhaps there could be a little air leak somewhere.

Throttle cable hung up a bit???? Should have some slack in it. If you put your finger on the cable behing the throttle body you should be able to move the cable up and down or sideways at least a 1/8 inch without the throttle linkage moving. Or a vac hose fell off.

hey hailers, my idle prob (5000) was a cracked vacuum hose and also the lower intake to block gasket needed replacing.

Are your sensors working well...air flow sensor and exhaust sensor...perhaps get them clean but be careful not to damage them.
