Ok, this morning i started my car, i normally let it idle for aobut 30-45 seconds just because i figure it's safer for the car's engine. Well the car after about 5 seconds stalled itself after idling incredibly low and oging up real quick then going back down. It only seems to have idling problems when i first start it in the morning, and i live in florida so it's not like it's cold or anything. Any clue as to what caused it to do this? It runs no fine no sqeaking or tap noises, could it be the serpentine belt somehow? I have no clue as to what else it could be. Just got oil changed, full tank of 93 octane like always, just got the 60,000 mile checkup...i dunnno, any help appreciated, thanks.

IAC = Automatic Idle Control Valve...I think.

spray carb cleaner in it that leaves no residue. the no residue part is very important.
