Same as they said, but wd40, and do all the seams of the manifold too.
Look at the vac line tree fitting thing at the back of the manifold a couple nipples rusted through on mine, and take the intake hoses off of the throttle body and look for a buildup of crap in the throats of the throttle body .

Climb over motor with engine running, rev up make sure EGR opens and closes, be that or vacuum solenoid that operates it on valve cover, take IAC off and clean good or replace it about 40 bucks
