check your throttle sensor. the little one wire sensor on the top of the throttle body. or you idle air control has a lot to do with it.

that might be it cuz the one on mine is loose and can be pulled right off

Mine is somewhat loose as well. That is if your talking about the idle switch.

Sounds like you have a FIAV issue or ISC.
Check your ecu lately?
Ohm test ISC?

dsmisc.com is where i picked mine up...but I believe i have another that is good. PM me if you need one.

yeah, the idle switch it keeps your rpms from dropping rapidly when started or when driving. i fixed mine and most of my idle issues went away.
