Not heard of cam followers causing a bad idle. Are they noisy? How many miles has the car done?

Is the the idling rough or the idle speed variable (idle revs sometimes higher / lower than normal or hunting up and down)? If the latter, it could be caused by a worn out idle stepper motor. It is usually only held in place by two screws and can easily be removed to check its condition. The cone and mechanism wear, preventing the ECU from controlling the idle correctly.
