    Check the battery voltage, and go through the Regulator/Rectifier checks. When my 5th gen's R/R first started going out, my idle became rough and then wouldn't idle and had to keep it above 3K rpm, but going down the road was smooth as always.

    You did do a recent sync of throttle bodies and idle speed adjustment, didn't you? :)
