you will need a scan tool to run a key on engine off and key on engine running cycle

This its a simple job: just keep in mind few tips on how to replace a Weatherstrip:

• Understand how your Weatherstripping attaches.
• Take pictures of the original weatherstrips before you begin. If necessary, these pictures can be a valuable resource after attaching the weatherstrips, while reassembling your vehicle.
• Weatherstrips will usually attach with screws, Nylon, or plastic clips, Weatherstrip adhesive, or any combination of the above.
• Replace 1 side at a time. Most weatherstrips are replaced in pairs. Replacing one weatherstrip at a time allows you to check how the original was attached, providing a valuable reference.
• With any weatherstrips that attach using adhesive, take the time to ensure all of the old adhesive has been removed. This step ensures a good bond between your car and the new weatherstripping.
• Choose an appropriate work area and have patience.
• Make sure you have a large protected space to work in.
• Don't let yourself be rushed by the weather.
• Allow yourself plenty of time.
• A quality weatherstrip replacement can be a day long project depending on the amount of weatherstripping replaced.
• Think it through. Don't rush yourself by starting the project at night if you need the car the following morning.

Here is the common cause of surges, stalls at stops, slow idle speed, erratic idle speed, rough idle and engine hesitation (and other problems), it is in most cases the idle speed control air-bypass valve and or throttle valve and upper intake, these area's get full of gunk and combustion residue over the miles and cause idle issues (stalls, low idle) like yours, Get a can of intake cleaner from any local parts store, not carb spray, intake cleaner, it is made by a company called CRC, remove the air intake hose to the engine, hold the idle high so the engine won't stall, then spray the can of cleaner into the intake while keeping the engine running, use at least 1/2 the can, shut down the engine and disconnect the battery for 5 minutes, then restart and complete a number of mixed driving cycles, town, freeway, stop and go etc., after a few days the problem will go away as the system will relearn to the clean intake.
