It could be your TPS, throttle positioning sensor. At least, that was the case with my 89 prelude.

What causes a 2002 jeep liberty to idle rough when coming to a stop and the oil light coming on sometimes and the oil light goes out when you accelerate?

The idle could be a number of things. A basic tune up might be needed. They are also common to get minor vacuum leaks that will cause it to idle rough. The only light is a bad thing. It means you do not have enough oil in your motor. So when you are stoppong it is sloshing away from then sensor and you accelerate it gets back to it. Check your oil level and add oil or I would replace it because it probably over due anyway.
