Try to pull your codes to see if a connector may have fallen off. YOur Water Thermo-sensor could cause this, as well as the BAC at times.

Here is the link for checking your codes:

You probably already cheked this but did you try the idle screw?

Compression check is a good idea, it will keep you from wasting a lot of time. My car has been very cranky lately too, and I have not found the answer. I sleep well knowing my compression is good.........

Yeah, do a compression check. If that comes out good, something else, like a sensor, failed.

Given that the vehicle idled good one day, and not the next, thats where I would start after the compression check.
