Default rough idle?

I'm not talking about my car when asking this, but if the car sometimes idles rough what problem would it indicate? Need to replace fuel filter? change spark plugs + wires? Kinda curious to know what's wrong with my brother's car. It only does it once in a while though.

Explain idling rough...

These cars do not have a perfectly smooth idle. There is a lot of 100-200rpms surging and such.

Usually for idle issues, it involves the IAC/TPS/Plugs/CP's.

it just suddenly starts shaking/rattling the whole car at idle, but it doesn't shake that violently. and it only happens for a short period of time.
