We've had lots of posts about rough idling. Have you read them to see some of the ideas and solutions?

Vacuum leaks? Dirty/stuck IAC valve on the throttle body?

I think he meant TB (throttle body) since you have a CPI motor.

With some sensor safe carbon cleaner and a brush. The TB is not removable on the CPI motor.

UPDATE: during yesterday driving, it got worse. when i was stopping and i got around 10mph/lower. if i stopped braking, and braked again they would get stiff as if the car was off and i was just pumping, it got to the point where i couldn't even push my pedal! but it seemed to relieve pressure when i gave it gas. also while accelerated, it seemed as it was going to die, get around 1500RPM's and it's bog for a sec and then speed up.
