My van was doing the same thing. I kept putting it off until yesterday.....
I first did some reading and seen folks having the same issue and it was the IAC valve. After spending an hour looking for the part that I seen on the internet, I searched the internet for another hour and found out that they changed them and I didnt have one. I then took the throttle body apart and cleaned it. It was so so gummed up. A thick deposit all the way around and it closed the normal gap. Looking at how it is suppose to function, I'm surprised it would stay running at idle at all. A gap in the closed position is needed. I cleaned and cleaned to get it out (oil sticky residue buildup from the oil vapors. crappy design.
Mine is a van and it took forever just to clean the Throttle Body.

I'll never let another TB go that long without cleaning it----even on the E-Series its not that difficult to remove from the intake.
