Check the connectors at the plugs make sure there is no moisture in there. Along with checking the TB and IAC

Check the vacuum hoses that goes off the air intake-valve covers on both sides.. and check to make sure that your pcv valve is in and not out. Check the vacuum lines for cracks.. make sure the intake is tightened and not loose..
