    If it works when you throttle it, yes, I would look at IAC, or you can adjust the throttle plate

    Next I'd investigate the other engine sensors......ect sensor...

    then throttle position sensor ....


    these engines are pretty simple......but they don't like non-oem engine sensors...

    you know the ones they sell for 1/10 the price of the real ones.....


    A scanner that reads live data....can take a lot of guess work out of it...
