    have you checked your iac they can get full of crap and stuff up your idle try taking off your throttle body and giving it a good clean with carby cleaner also your idle may be low have you tried changing the little screw the the back of the throttle body and see how that affects it. dont forget to reset your iac after you do the throttle body by putting in park and holding at 3000rpm for 10 secs.

    Wouldn't recommend carby cleaner on the IAC itself though. Get some of the spray that's designed especially for cleaning electronics. CO2 cleaner I think it is.
