Default Idle goes up and down

Hi Guys I hope you can help me, I am not sure if this is the right place, I have a problem with the idle when my car has just started and it goes from 1 going down to 0 and dies. But when it runs for about 5-8 kms it does not go down to 0, but goes up and down .5 to 1.5 RPM. Any help would be highly appreciated. Thanks in Advance!!

might be a fast idle valve or iac valve. i would check to see if you have any coes first and that the coolant is good. low coolant can have that effect also clean the throttle
