Idling issues!?!

The thing is the idle stopping is very erratic, it's happened 3 times this week, but is smooth when it idles at 1000-1100rpm, also I have no way of taking a video image :( only have the iPhone 3G lol

Well this would just be the start, I've got a cam on order and intend to have the car mapped as well, and why bother you ask?
