It should be very smooth, check and see if one of your fan blades is cracked, check your engine and transmission mounts as they tear easily, clean out your idle solenoid with throttle body cleaner.

What octane gas are you using, have you done an induction clean yet? I would stay away from the idle solenoid for now, most likely isn't the problem and too many people have screwed them up trying to clean them.
Did you also change your air filter, are you using paper or K&N type?

If you want to do it right, use a whole can of Seafoam for the induction cleaning and throw a can of BG's 44K in the gas tank before a couple hour trip on the highway.
