You should look at replacing your suction control valve.

Air fuel mixture may be it. Also it could be a bad catalytic converter. Also the timing may be the culprit.

Clean your fuel lines. Check your pump. If not any of those check to see if your throwing codes

the easiest way to find out the answer is to go to Something like

put in your reg No or model & Look up timing chains/belts

Two things I would check. first I would pull the Idle air control motor off and clean it and make sure it is working properly put lube on it i necessary. Next would be the engine coolant sensor. But I think the first will take care of your problem The IAC motor is mounted on the throttle body.

Put key in ignition. Hold down one of the key buttons and hold it down while you turn the ignition on. Door locks should pop up and down. Then release button and remove key.

it is a real pain on the ground. on a rack about 4 hours and fairly easy.

Leave the jumper connected for about 10 minutes at least to get the battery some charge. If that doesn't work, wait another 10 minutes.

Remember that when you first connect the jumper cable, the good car is charging the battery AND trying to start the car.
