Misfire at idle

Hey guys,
I've been having this issue for about a week now where my 04 AT is idling very funny. When I start the car after the enfiene has warmed up, at low rpms the car wants to shut off. I've already done, spark plugs, wires, and coils not long ago. Any suggestions on what it may be?

another thing I want to add is that the motor has about 40k miles on it. It was replaced by the dealer under warrantly some time ago.

Clean the "AFS"....this sensor needs cleaning once in awhile. You might do a de-carbon cleaning too. A compression check would be advisable also.
