Default It's most likely your idle control solenoid. Probably clogged up with gunk - since no codes..

usually a vacuum leak will register as a random misfire by a cylinder

Take it off (next to the throttle body) and clean it. I believe there are FAQ's on how to do this, in case you need some help.
