    Oooh, here comes my usual answer to that... it's an IAC problem, get a new one.

    Hehe...

    As people have said, check vacuum hoses for leaks, check the IAC is working>

    Did the car show any other symptons or was anything done to the car before is started acting up or did it just happen out of the blue?

    easy fix: wind the **** out of the idle screw and then pack it out a bit too. 3000rpm idle ftw
