Hi
It can be many things, but first comes in mind:
1. fuel filter ... if not replaced jet it's cheap to buy and easy to replace
2. cooped up throttle body ... pull it apart and wash everything that you find in there
It worked on my 1988 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme with 275000 miles on it.
Good luck!

Why does my 83 yamaha max 750 idle high as soon as you start it?
Does it idle high all the time or just for a bit after you start it? There are a couple things you could check such as: 1- Defective throttle cable 2- Idle srew on you carburator is set too high 3- Choke is on Good Luck!
You fixed your water pump the engine light stays on The car will start but it will die at idle It will run good in motion but as soon you let go of the gas it dies?
I would assume this is a Stratus, and that the battery had been disconnected during water pump replacement. 1. Disconnect the battery again for 30 seconds. 2. Reconnect battery. 3. Turn key to "run" position, (not start), for 5 seconds. 4. Start car. 5.. Idle relearn should be complete.
