Debris can get into the idle air control valve. This will restrict the air flow into the engine, causing idle speed and/or stalling when cold. The valve can be cleaned or replaced to correct this concern.

    Idle was erratic, sometimes racing, sometimes it wouldn't idle without pressing throttle. Had mechanic clean the IAC valve and fixed the problem.

    Car started, but stalled immediately revs dropped very low. Replaced ICV ($400 plus labor) and car is fine.
