if youre having idle problems one thing you can do is take off the intake and spray some throttle body cleaner (from crappy tire). i know that helps rough ldling but other than that i got nothing lol.

i would start by checking the IACV, then move onto checking engine vaccum if the problem persists.

Generally if the idle levels out once the car is warm, then the first thing you should look at it is your Fast Idle throttle valve(FITV). It adds more air into the intake when your car is cold to get the RPMs up to help warm the car up faster.

Take is off of the intake manifold and spray it out with brake cleaner fuild.

You don't have to rip off the whole intake manifold either.. if you can get your hands in there, take it off just like that..

if you sprayed it near the intake manifold gasket, and it the idle changed, you need a new intake manifold gasket

Don't go changing big things right now. Eliminate all the minor possibilities before spending a lot of money and time.

well an intake manifold gasket is cheap and pretty easy to replace and if the idle changed when he sprayed some schmegma near the IM gasket then clearly there is a leak.
