engine idling rough question

I have said my Land Cruiser is bullet proof. Well, it has been for a long, long time. I'm afraid this time it has come to haunt me. Got off the fwy and pulled up to a stop sign I felt the engine idling really rough to the point of of only 3-400rpm, I popped it in N, and gave it a few revs to clear its throat. No go, so I limped home. As soon as I give it some gas the roughness goes away but it lacks power like normal but it does drives ok. It has over 200k of trouble free miles on the original motor. Its time to spend some time and money on it. Its too dark to monkey with it now. I am thinking Ignition. I sure hope its just a bad plug. I restarted it once I parked it, and It had a bit of trouble starting but another try got it going. anything else I should look at before I take it in?
