im not sure but this happened to me recently. I drove te car about 60 miles, and for a couple minutes after getting off the highway it idled a little high, around 1250 or so, then it went back to normal idle around 800. Not sure, only happened the 1 time.

you may need a new TPS...
Throttle position sensor. About $30 at most autoparts stores.
When the TPS goes out, the behavior is very erratic and different for everyone.
I had surging problems with mine, others have had your symptoms...
It could also be your IAC, which controls your cars idle. more then $100
Both parts are known not to throw codes and screw with how a car runs/idles
