I believe your problem is the idle air control valve.
wouldent my check engine light be on if it was bad and is there a way to test it before i just buy a new one thanks...
that is a common misconception, won't necessarily happen, could just be dirty. to test it your gonna take it out of its bore,you should clean the bore and throttle body while your at it. once you remove it your gonna have someone turn the key to the on position then you should see the pintle of the iac 'step' in and out at different lengths. if it doesn't do this then its no good
replaced it cause i had another one around still doing the same thing any other ideas do u think this could be electrcal maybe altenator or something im lost thanks for all ur help...
check the egr valve and mapp sensor. also check fuel pressure.
