    There is a gold idle screw on the throttle body that may need adjusting, as well as another idle adjusting set screw under the pulley that opens the throttle body. also, it could be your map sensor.

    A few days ago, I noticed (the last time I had my car's oil changed (about a month ago))someone there overfilled the coolant! Then, today when driving it, all of a sudden it no longer blew hot air!...
