hi, it sounds like the idle control valve is blocked, you should clean it with brake or carb cleaner, also clean the air flow meter with brake cleaner, the idle will be much better then.

you can clean the TB and Inlet manifold by spraying carb cleaner into the hose which attaches to the rocker cover.
You will need to hold the revs high while doing this, as the engine will try to stall.
cleaning the ICV is as simple as unbolting it from the manifold and spraying the nozzle.
