03 tl ruff idle problem help!!!!!

I have a 03 TL and i am having a idle problem. I have uesd the "SEARCH" button...

My problem is when i start the car its idling low like it wants to die. when i drive the car it feels fine but as i come to a stop it feels like it wants to die or should i say idling really low.... I have a new battery so its not that. Spark plungs are good.

So what could this be? IAC? EGR? only?

Without the code, my first guess would be IACV

Yep, a sticking iacv or egr can cause this symptom. Get yourself a can of carb cleaner. And if you remove both, get the iacv gasket and egr valve gasket too....they will need replacing. Open the valve on the bottom of the egr with a flat screwdriver and spray tons of cleaner in there. After clean up, lubricate the arm.
