It was 16 minutes since you opened the thread when you replied to it. Why would you expect an answer in 16 minutes? This is a message board, NOT your instant messenger client.

That aside, you most likely either need to bleed the system, have a dirty or faulty IACV, or have a dirty or faulty FITV.

Are your hoses on tight enough? Are they in good condition?
They should be stiff, but still flexible. They should not be mushy or completely soft, and they should not be completely hard.

Start by bleeding the system.
Then check your FITV for coolant leaking into the throttle body. To do this you will remove it via the 3 bolts under the throttle body and see if there is coolant in the ports going to the throttle body.

As long as the reservoir is hooked up properly and the hose between the reservoir cap and radiator nipple is sealed, it should be fine.

The cap could be a possibility. I'm not exactly sure how to test it though.

for the FITV you're looking to see if there is coolant in any of the 3 ports on it that mate to the throttle body. If there is coolant in them, first try cleaning the FITV using the DIY in the FAQ section of this forum and put it back on. If cleaning it doesn't fix your idle, take the FITV back off and look for coolant in the ports again on the FITV. If there is coolant in the ports again, you need to replace the FITV because the wax piece in the FITV is worn.
