If your idle control valve is anything like the one on my BMW this might work. Remove the valve and spray into it with carb cleaner. mine was stuck in a partially opened position due to gunk. I had to spray it about three times before it loosened up.

Also try putting it back on and then disconnecting the O2 sensor. If the engine runs better, the sensor is shot.
