Hello,

It sounds to me like your Idle Air Control Valve [IAC] has failed and needs to be replaced. Just to make sure though I have included the diagnostics test guide from the vehicle manufacturer in the diagrams down below. You will need to use a Digital Multi-meter [DMM] to do these tests, so here is a link below on how to use one, if needed:

Please go through these guides and get back to us with what you are able to find out. If the IAC valve is bad here is a link below on how to change it:

Thanks,
