Well the egr valve would actually make it stubble or run rough. i would take the iac motor out and clean it and clean the throttle body! i would scan the codes also could lead you to the issue! auto zone ussaly does it for free! good luck

98 explorer 4.0 SOHC wont idle and stalls when weather is below 40 degrees. worse when colder. Just had tune up, new airfilter new fuel filter but problem did not get better.

you have a bad idle air control valve. its job is to have motor rpm high until the motor warms up then turn it back to normal.

The most common cause of high idle is an intake air leak. It will cause a lean condition to the O2 sensors and the PCM's solution is to increase the fuel mix resulting in faster idle. It can also cause a Check Engine Light if the idle remains too high for too long. Do a smoke test or soapy water test around the intake manifold and throttle body. If you detect any leaks, seal them and try again.

Typically high idle occurs when vehicle is started when cold. The idle will go down when the vehicle warms up.

'04 Chev Silverado 1/2ton Heater only blows warm air when motor is at high RPM. When I stop and its just idling, it blows cool air.

It sounds like your thermostat may be stuck open, with the engine working hard the temperature of the engine comes up thus the warm air, but just at an idle the thermostat is letting the coolant circulate and not holding it their until it reaches a warm enough temp. You are most likely going to need to change the thermostat.

Hard start and rough idle.

Sounds like it's time for a tune up of the ignition system. That would be easiest. If not, have a mechanic check your cylinder compression.
