Check the throttle body valve and cable for binding, could also be the IAC

I do appreciate all of the advice I receive here. I am also egually grateful that so many take the time to show interests in my automotive problems. However the idle problems were caused by a collapsed emissions hose that ran to the oil seperator from the intake. The hose was resting on a tab on the back of the throttle body, when the hose heated up this tab pushed in on the hose causing it to collapse.:cheers:
