check the throttle cable for being to tight or turn the idle screw on the throttlebody.

Yeah sometimes the IACV and the coolant temp sensor and the air intake temp sensor can get mixed up. they are the same style of plug. Go to your chiltons book and look at the color of wires to figure out which ones go to which. Check if you have any codes.

That's your problem right there.

Unscrew it a little.
