Try cleaning the throttle body. Also make sure that the choke is working and check to see if any pipes have come loose...

No idle valve on your car, everything is run by the Powertrain control module, it takes readings from various sensors and adjusts the throttle position for idle, try the engine coolant temp sensor see if its working, also make sure the throttle housing is clean as said and the throttle position sensor is working ok.
