idle control valve or air flow metre, my money is on the AFM. You got an aftermarket air filter?

The throttle return spring could also be fuggered.

But odds on its the ICV. I belive they are bolted where the fuel pump on carb engines is (at the cam belt end of the engine, on the back of the cam housing).

carb cleaner in there and it should sort things
