If you got check engine codes I would recommend, get the codes checked start with that first.


Good Luck.

Try IAC relearn. Check all harness connecters. Probably a vac leak.

Is it only at idle or have u taken it for a test drive. if its only at idle i would think vacum as well. some times u dont even hear the vacum leak, witch makes is a b*** to find.

plugs, coils, black boot things between the coils and plugs.
