RE: help
could be you tps, throttle position sensor, or you idle air control. IAC. its on the throttle body on the side. take it off, unplug the connector and take it apart and clean it with throttle body cleaner and some q-tips. that should help. if not, see if your tps is out of adjustment.

RE: thank u
the tps is on top of ur throttle body. it should have a wire connector on it and have about 4 inches of wire, or wire loom on it. it will be black plastic. will have 2 phillips headed screws holding it on to the tb.
