your idle positioning sensor(IPS) could be bad or just not set right. check the voltage, it should be i think like .95 or .98 of a volt. good luck

Your talking about the throttle positioning sensor (TPS) and it should be set to .999 volts (as close to 1 volt as you can get it). If anything it could be the air idle motor plugged up but it has the little update plate that fixes the hunting idle problem.
