It could but I hope they actually did a diagnostic before telling you that... ie listened to the engine?   Actually it wouldn't suprise me if they didn't as a dirty ICV can give idle running probs, some carb cleaner and wd40 will sort that out though :y

those are primary causes ..
as stated your icv may be dirty or worse..

after trying those options, try injector cleaning and new sparks imo..

and I must note that actual cause may differ depending on the cold idle or hot idle problem.. :-/
