Default Sat for days now idles rough?

This isn't the 1st time this happened....I have 130XXX miles.My car sat for 5xdays and the 1st start up the idle just went up/down 200/1000rpm really rough that it almost stalled.Any ideas?It seems to do it when it sits for a few.

If your RPM's are bouncing, 9 times out of 10 it's your TPS/throttle position sensor. Sometimes they don't go bad, just need to be recalibrated.

It only bounces from a cold start if the car has been sitting for a few days then settles and idles at about 7-800rpm when it warms up.I thought it would need to be recalibrated if it idles high/low all the time?
