screw your idle air control valve screw all the way shut and see if the car dies out, if it does then you have a bad IACV because it should keep the car running when the airway is closed
if the car stays running turn back the screw 3 times to get a base of where it should be idling at. if you have it too far open your car will surge at a stop i.e. being stopped at a stop light.
def check the CEL code and let us know

I see people out there spending money on the car to improve it … If you spend half that effort just working on your driving skills, making you and the car work together as a team, then you’ll go faster – period. To make the car go a second faster on the track takes a lot more energy and money than making yourself drive it one second faster.
