IAC or throttle body dirty, may need cleaned by removing and using throttle body cleaner and assorted nylon brush sizes and re-installed with new gaskets, new air filter, locate vacuum leaks. Weak battery or starter, Coil pack may have cracks to case, low compression which may be from the head gasket, or intake gasket letting coolant into the cylinders making firing difficult upon start up. Scan for codes stored on the computer.
