Check for a big vac leak.

And I'd inspect the plugs to see what color they were. Vacuum leak could be the PCV valve also.

You can adjust the idle screw if you want: http://geometroforum.com/topic/2625456/1/?x=40 granted it is set low for a reason - maybe the vacuum leak was reason for the low idle?
