Those are great wires, as long as they're not worn or cracked. I started to have trouble with mine when it rained, turned out they had small cracking where two wires had been rubbing against each other, and the rain water was causing crosstalk and backfiring.

Is the labmda relay the one underneath the passenger's seat?
YES

I pulled it last week and the idle definitely got much worse. I can try again tomorrow and see if it still happens (unless of course that's the wrong relay). Is there a chance the relay is still bad and would pass that test? If I start spending money, I would definitely like to start cheap!
Probably not the problem then. That relay can start to intermittently go bad, it's vulnerable to water. Any basic 12V cube relay can go in it's place for the time being, it doesn't have to be a $30 metal Porsche item.
