Default No More Bog! idle still rough

I changed my TPS and gave my TB a serious cleaning,
My truck no longer bogs hard when I first get going
But she still Idles rough.
What would be the next thing to look at without spending exessive cash?
I Want this thing running like it should before I go tossing in a CAI, Exaust, maybe even a chip, (Hopefully before northern Ohio winter sets in)

idle rough when cold or hot? You might try the coolant temp sensor.

Batman, when you say rough idle does it surge? Mine goes like from 800 rpm to 900 to 800. I took a couple plugs out and they need to be replaced.. also im guessing the TB could use a cleaning as well.

I did a full tune-up less than a year ago
the plugs are new this spring
and cleaned the sh*t outta the TB the other day

It idles low, like a john deere, she just sits there and chugs
