I have a similar issue with my 96 TA, I have traced every component to the throttle body and no success. I did put a small spring on the throttle spring to the radiator hose clamp and the seemed to fix it, but I dont like rigs. The one thing that was a constant was the throttle body. I cleaned it real well but it still does it. It is like the blades are not closing all the way and it can be annoying, hince why the extra spring. If you figure something out pleas let me know.

I sprayed the entire top of my engine and all related parts and no change in idle. Also a vaccuum leak would be more consistant, either cold or warm or all the time, not a day or week or longer between episodes. Mine has done it as close to back to back stop and go to not doing it for a month, the only help was the spring.
Mabe it is the return spring on the throttle spring, attached to the throttle body??? Just an idea...
