Could use a bit more information:
Year
Miles
recent maint / repairs outside of oil change
ECU condition if pre 1998. TN is hot and muggy and caps could be out
any check engine lights
new gas station
any other symptoms at idle

Could get a lot of help here, but need to give us more to work with.

Have you searched the stickies at the top yet?

This is a Lexus site not for Volks wagons. Maybe the gas pedal is broke.

Take it back to the dealer and let them figure it out if your convinced they did something wrong. Also check the oil level.
