Fuel Filter
Spark Plugs
All Vaccum Lines Checked

I read something about a "Idle Control Motor" or something like that. Any ideas would be great.
You can try cleaning the throttle body with carb cleaner. The best thing to do is remove the IAC (Idle Air Control) and clean the passages where it mates to the throttle body. If that doesn't work then replace the IAC.
