I had the same thing in mine after installing my CAI. Its only rough when stopping in drive right? Is it good in park? I think GreenFaleen is right about it being because of the cold weather. My dodge neon acted like it had another 50 HP in the cold. lol. That made it idle rougher.

shitty plug, crap in the fuel filter, crap in the air filter, winter blend gasolines, IAT like GF said, dirty MAF, dirty TB or there could be a couple squirrels living under your hood and getting in the way of shit.
