Check into that. It sounds more like a lot of water in the gas. My sister's Taurus would not idle, but it would run at higher RMPs fine. I just had to mantain the gas pedal right, come to find out someone put water in her tank. We put a full tank of gas and a couple of bottles of dry gas in and it came around in two days. Hope that might be it, or other wise check the EGR system for plug-ups.
