Hey Jeff,
Try a set of new spark plugs. In my case, the original, double-platinum NGKs ($8 each) were only good for about 24,000 miles (2 years). Renewing the plugs made a big difference in smoothness at idle and low-rpm tractability.
I used the $2/ea, copper NGK BCPR6ES-11 plugs (you can also use NGK BCPR6ES) and plan to renew them every 10,000 miles from now on. Gap 'em to 0.035 to 0.039 inch (0.9 to 1.0 mm)
Don't forgot to use some dielectric grease on the rubber spark plug boots and some Loc-tite blue on the DI screws...
