It has 95k miles on it. I just replaced the air filter, cleaned the IAC out. Just had an oil change. Dunno what would cause that.

Mine comes close if I spend too much time riding the clutch in heavy traffic, letting go of the clutch in neutral and the rpms' drop too low. Also, A/C and heat will hurt your idle also.
