Try checking the idle air control motor this is the one that targets the idle speed also look for vacuum leak-

Hi Rasmataz. Bought a new IAC. Tested both old and new IAC's by turning igniton to "on". neither one worked. Have not installed new IAC yet. Need to return IAC if not the problem. Vacuum leaks were not found by the mechanic that inspected the car.

You need to check the IACV wiring back to the computer for open and short circuit if okay have the computer further checked
