if it is just winding over and over or stalling after starting

grab some throttle body cleaner(CRC Clean R Carb or Nulon brands i can recommend) and clean out the throttle body and EGR valve(attached to the side of the throttle body)

will help ALOT(debs was doing this and after that it idled better and was just great)

Is it VCT?

Do you use premium unleaded?
