If your car has had the injectors swapped in the recall already I'd be surprised if that was the issue again. Leaky injectors cause an idling issue usually. So start with plugs which are cheap the go from there.

Also, do you have any mods? Sounds like your issue could be o2 related.
I will say I bought this car understanding that that's how it would be, just wasn't ready for it to come so fast lol.

And the car is bone stock, other than a few cosmetic mods that I just added. I will try to spark plugs asap. The shop was putting a pretty large emphasis on the low pressure fuel pump sensor so I think I'm going to give that a go as well and report back, thanks for your reply!
