This is why I'm a mechanical guy, I despise electrics lol.

It doesn't take as long as people think to pull out sensors and test their resistance. Tedious but it may be the solution (although it could be as simple as plugs, fuel injector cleaner, or an air filter!) I had a similar problem with my Fiancée's Impreza, low RPMs, occasional cam position sensor, and rarely a cyclinder misfire code. I replaced on cam sensor that didn't read out the right ohms and that made it better but it was still a little wierd with the RPMs just less codes thrown so I ran a bottle of injector cleaner and the car drives normally again. The issues can be the same or different but the approach is the same. Test anything that might be a problem and fix the cheap possibilities first.
