Check idle speed control is working? Clean with carb cleaner..
Check coolant sensor if above doesn't do anything..
Or reset TPS / idle as in

Do a scan, KOEO and KOER. This should help tie down the source of the problem. As EBXR8380 says, most likely to be ECT sensor or ISC.

Put a multimeter on the ISC. EF ECUs have a tendancy to blow the ISC output driver hence no idle air control.
