I had the same problem with one of my cars and it turned out my car was Haunted by ghost.

Didn't you post before that you had a vaccum leak? Did you get that fixed yet.

Sounds like the Idle Air Control motor to me located on the throttle body.

Check you TPS voltage. There's also a screw on the throttle body you can adjust idle with.
