Whatever you do, don't **** with the FITV like some people may tell you.

basically the fitv controls your idle when cold/warming up. it works off coolant temp, and it allows air to pass into the manifold, raising the idle when cold. as the coolant warms the fitv, it slowly closes down and stops air from entering, and no longer affects idle. smoetimes it gets stuck open, allowing air to pass, and keeping the idle high. to fix, open, and manually close it down. the fitv has no electronics and is a mechanical air valve

when the car is warm idle is regulated by th iacv, idle air control valve. to fix this, clean the inside with carb cleanner and reset your idle. you can check the resistance between the contacts and see if it is within specs.

for your problem i would try to clean iacv and reset idle.
