    First thing I would do is check any line that has to do with vacuum to include the brake booster.

    Also, have you filled up recently and have you had any heavy rains that could have contaminated the fuel tanks where you may have gotten gas lately?

    The light you're describing sounds like a tpms light, but that wouldn't make sense.

    OP, don't know if you meant to private message me, but you made it so only I saw that response. I'm going to post it here in hopes of getting a better response from everyone.

    That light is for TPMS, or tire pressure monitoring system. It monitors the pressure in the tires to tell you if you've got a flat. It is in no way linked to the engine. It's got to be a coincidence if that was the only light to come on when you started idling rough.
