it's either the idle air control or throttle position sensor or it could be both. there is another thing that could be causing it to run rough or not at all when warm is you could have a vac. leak somewhere. lets start with the vac leak first get a can of choke and carb cleaner and spray it around the bottom of intake manifold and listen for any changes in rpm if it smooths out and runs normal then that's the problem.

after checking all of the above items.
then check/clean your air inlet sensor and the next item to check/clean is the exhaust o2 sensor(s)
