I know this code is for Idle Control System RPM Lower Than Expected. I need suggestions on ways to fix the problem or what part I need. The check engine light is on and the engine does not have a steady idle sometimes even stalling. Any suggestions?

Thanks :?:

You can start by a simple cleaning of the throttle bore and reset the pcm. If it still does it there maybe a PCM update to help correct this.

How would I go about cleaning the throttle bore? I appologize I am a beginner at this.

Try using a rag with some choke cleaner on it. Be careful if you're gonna spray choke cleaner into the throttle bore as it can get into your tps sensor, etc. and ruin the electronics. So if you're going to do that just be careful. The safest way(although it takes longer) is to use a rag.
