Sounds like you might have a bad Idle Air Control(IAC) valve. what engine is this?

I have a 5.0L engine is that the valve that connects to the breather? Do you think that might be the problem?

This would be on your throttle body.

i think i might have changed that but i bought the part from autozone and i heard that their electronic parts arent really good so ill check that part out...also i smell antifreeze and my car is starting to overheat but i dont see any leaks in my radiator or any of my hoses but i smell it what could that be?

check the floor on the passengers side and see if it's wet or the smell gets worse over there...maybe a heater core leak?
