Well first, has the vehicle had a tune-up as of late? Second, if it has had a tune-up, then the possible culprit to rough idling is the Idle Air Control valve or IAC for short. Also, if your check engine light is still on, your still getting codes. What are the latest code(s)?

Code 53 is for a problem with the heater in the O2 sensor for bank one sensor one. It could be something in the wiring or you could have a defective sensor.

The problems you are describing indicate to me that you likely need to replace the coil pack that runs from the spark plugs ,and the plug wires end up at it.It also may be the spark plug wires,get a water bottle and spray the wires after dark and if you get a light show from them then replace them,if not,replace the coil pack.

okay, the o2 code can cause problems, theres a problem with one of the o2 sensors, theres 2 or 4 sensors,the repair was not done right or theres another bad o2 sensor, next thing i would check is the idle air control motor,this sounds like it sticks at time or just stops working,start with these things first,

Engine light was on and engine idles rough.

these O2 sensors are cat convertor check sensors. id be checking cat convertors and hopefully you should try replacing if not all ready is the front bank 2, O2 sensor
if you have scanner can you see fuel trims in data display to confirm high fuel trim only on bank 2 either +-5 or more indicates problem and if bank 2 sensor 2 has fixed high 700mv reading cat no good(warm idling)

Check for crossed vacuum lines or leaks.That would definately give you a high RPM.Did you have the computer scanned at all.Dont just change the sensors if their good.Pay someone to fix it
