start off getting the codes pulled next time the car shows the CEL. Can you feel vibration when you are sitting in the car and its idling? I could be a VVT control solenoid, but then it could be a lot of things to be honest. How about your plugs? Fresh and gapped correctly? Vacuum leak could be another source...
