Throbbing idle, need help

Alright so I'm driving home from work which is about 20 miles away on the highway,truck running great. I get off and at the first set of lights my truck starts throbbing at idle. It revs up and then back to normal. It only happens when idling, and is fine when I'm on the gas. Any suggestions? I ran out of gas a couple weeks ago so I'm thinking I might have sucked some crap into fuel filter?
Any help would be great
Thanks

This is just done by turning that little screw on the throttle body correct?
