I would say if you have a sohc v6 4l engine than the iac - idle air control value is the problem. i fixed mine by cleaning it with cab / electric cleaner. that was for stalling when starting in the morning or cooler temp. I still have lumpy idle but i hear that the upper intake and lower intake gaskets are prone to leaking - i replaced them but did not fix my lumpy idle. Other people suggest fuel filter. I fixed my stalling problem but still have a lumpy ldle.
