clean out your iacv if it persists clean out your fitv
if you dont know how google is your friend to learn how to clean them
edit: also try running seafoam through it and check your timing

If it sat for a long time the gas might just be bad, try running it low and filling it up fresh. I dont think it would be your IACV or FITV since its been sitting, they wouldnt have had a chance to clog. Also try bleeding your coolant lines, air bubbles in the lines can cause an idle surge.
