Pull off the idle control valve and check it. If it doesn't open and close, well then, it's time for a new one.

Were Is That Located

it's the cylindrical part right after the throttle body on the intake. Comes off easy with an alan wrench. Take a 9 volt battery, hook 2 wires to it, and then put them against the contacts on the inside of where the unit plugs in. If it opens and closes, it's good, but if it doesn't...well...

Tip learned from LoudSHO92 .
