Have you tried to use carb cleaner around the intake manifold and hoses to check to see if the rpms change when sprayed on a certain part?
Have you cleaned the idle air control valve lately?
Is the coolant still fresh ?
Do you have any oil leaks around the valve cover
When is the last time you changed the air filter and inspected the throttle body for any dirt or build up
There was a Toyota echo 5 speed idling super low that just had tons of gunk built up on the throttle body the other day.

Here's another crazy deet: for the last two days the car has run quite normally, with longterm fuel trim moving to normal and then slightly rich. It has been raining these last two days.
Looking at your list, the cap, rotor, igniter, and spark plug wires have about 30,000, maybe. Maybe less. The plugs have been fuel fouled and cleaned. I have three sets that rotate in. No oil leaks. Compression is good. Filters are clean. I cleaned the throttle mechanism probably 20,000 miles ago, maybe a bit less. The carb cleaner would be for testing vacuum leaks, yes? I have not done that yet. I also have not cleaned the Idle Air Control Valve... both are good ideas.
