Best Answer

1. Check for codes.

2. If no codes replace IAC (Inexpensive).

3. If not IAC, run smoke test...it's probably intake manifold gasket.

4. If its neither, take to a mechanic...could be fuel pump, distributor...the list goes on.

replace your Idle control valve. Go to NAPA and get a new one, then replace it.
