If the other posters answer doesn't solve your problem, you can also check for vacuum leaks.Start the engine and let it idle, spray carb cleaner on every gasket(any component that pulls vacuum such as the intake, iac valve, egr valve, injector bosses, throttle body, etc)vacuum hose, and vacuum operated component. If the engine idle suddenly surges up or the engine stalls, you've found the leak. You can also use a handheld propane torch with the valve slightly open and run the torch tip alongside the same areas listed above, if you don't wanna use the messier carb cleaner. The large air intake hose can also be a source for vacuum leaks if the clamps are loose or if the hose has cracks or pinholes in it so check for those too.
