Go to junkers get the bottom half of the Throttlebody (called the IAC) Unscrew it with the 4 philips heads screws... then put it on ures!
I had the same thing and it was IAC. Cost me about $5

Re: HELP ME PLEASE ENGINE PROBLEMS
Before you do anything check the plastic pipe from Intake (throttle body) to box, your main air intake. If it is cracked it can cause all kinds of grief. another cheap junk yard part & a common problem.

Re: HELP ME PLEASE ENGINE PROBLEMS
it could be timing, or letting un-metered air in? is the accordian tube cracked to hell?

I know you believe that you understand what you think I said but I'm sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.

Re: HELP ME PLEASE ENGINE PROBLEMS
99% of the time those are the symptoms of a cracked air intake. Check the plastic accordian.
