I believe the best thing is to have it scanned to see if there any trouble codes. This could be the idling valve/servo or the throtle position sensor-might not be damaged may just be a matter of calibration with the right scan tool. Like I saif before the best thing is to have it scanned otherwise its just guess work-which is as expensive as it is frustrating. Hope this helps
