Yeah, I'm having some idle problems too. Is it really low and rough?

For my problem I was thinking it was an IACV clog, but I took it off this morning and it was clean. Anywho, our situation may have different causes. Check out the IACV and see if the screen in the gasket is gunked up. If it is, hit it with some Brake Parts cleaner until it's clean and see if your idle improves.

note: Allow plenty of time for the solution to dry before reinstalling or starting the car.

Is the CEL ON?

-Try bleeding the cooling system of trapped air and cleaning the fast idle valve if you have one.

-Check for intake air and vacuum leaks.
