Default RPM's dropping at idle.

i had no problem w/ this till the other day i ran my car thru a touchless carwash and right after and not all the time, but every now and then since after i crank my car its fine in park, but if im stopped and its in drive the RPM's will drop real low and act like it wants to kill. After about 5 mins it will stop. Waht to u think this can be?
