could be your intake manafold gasket is leaking .if the truck run ok after it warm up then it's a good chance it the intake gasket ,otherwise you may need a tune up
Could be a vacuum leak.
its the valve on the right side. mounted on the intake manifold. if u remove it and clean it realy good, you can re-use it and it will fix the irratic high/low idle.
your truck wont idle correctly when its cold, because its cold...and nothing runs correctly when it's cold. your truck wont idle correctly when its cold, because its cold...and nothing runs correctly when it's cold.
yes hot or cold it affects idle speed
the cold idle is controlled by the PCM ( power train control module) the computer of the car and idle is not adjustable.

Im guessing your asking @ what RPM is the 4 cylinder engine supposed to idel at. Well, theres usually two idle settings. A cold idle and a warm idle. You didint mention for what engine, and that's important because every engine has its own correct idle but to give ya a rough idea, the cold idle is usually 950-1000 RPM and warm idle is usually 850-900 RPM!
If there is an erratic cold idle the car could be experiencing a vacuum leak. Check all the air hoses on the vehicle and replace what is worn. Improper air pressure will lead to an unstable idle.
900-1200
