Default RE: extreme idle

sounds like you have one of two things. Either A a huge vacuum leak (which would probably set a code) Or your Idle air control valve is sticking. It is very close to or on the throttle body. Try tapping on it with a screw driver, and if that doesn't help try taking it off, apart, clean it and put it back on. I've heard a lot about these having idle issues due to the IAC.
