check your idle air control sensor, Im almost positive this is the problem, if not, check the map sensor

when i looked up for the idle air control sensor the only thing i could find was a idle air control valve.does my car have a valve and a sensor?or just an idle air control valve?thanks for all your help. i was about to give up on my car and try my luck with another.where would the idle air control valve be located on my car because im not to familiar with them?and is it something i could install my self?i have done most of the work myself with my dad watching making sure i do things right and so i can learn.

sorry, I don't know what possessed me to say control sensor, it is idle air control valve. and yes you can change it yourself. give me a second to get you the location. its located on the throttle body. i'll see if i can find you a quick pic
