    The last two weeks my trucks been sitting rather low on the rpm's at idle and it's never done that. It sits at about 600rpm-700rpm and is very rough.
    I have a 2009 TRD prerunner with 102k miles on the clock.

    If I give it a little gas while it's rough at idle and let it sit at 1k'ish rpm it's still rough. But then other times it will sit at 800-1k rpm and be smooth as a baby's butt. Idk wtf is going on.

    Sitting around 6-700 is normal. Maybe just a bad tank of gas? Spark plugs need changing?

    Yea it's only about 1 or 2 hundred rpm lower than usual but it's rough as hell. I'll let the gas get used in it and run it past E before I pull plugs. I put irridium plugs in it at 85k miles.

    Are you using a dry type air filter? Try cleaning your MAF sensor.
