Is the Malfunction Indicator Light illuminated?

The idle control has a fault and most likely the IAC is stuck or there is a vacuum leak after the throttle body.

The check engine light came on changed o2 sensor it stayed off. I always keep 1/2 tank of gas and service every 2 to 3 months. tune up, oil, filters. I will check and replace iac, I have had the burb for 14 years and never serviced the iac.

If you do not have any trouble code, cleaning the IAC might work.
