RPM's Drop After Engine Start

'01 EX, V6....Engine starts fine, but right after ignition the rpm's drop nearly to the point of engine dying, then slowly recover to normal idle. A/C is not on at this time.

Any ideas??

clean your ICV and see if that fixes the problem. Also clean the TPS sensor along with the intake

I can almost hear the underlying tone of mass amounts of profanity mixed in with the words "shop" and "transmission" in that post *LOL*

The idle air control valve (IAC) is bolted to the bottom of the throttle body.
