Run seafoam and buy some new ground wires.

Should fix it.

yah clean the IACV idle air control valve with carb cleaner, if that doesnt fix it take the intake tube off and if u plug the bottom hole on the throttle boty when its warmed up and it stops then its the FIV thats what went bad on my car and its 167 from the dealer and that sux lol
