the air flow meter is just after the air filter, you mean the idle air control valve

is the idea air control valve stuck open?

the pipe which comes in from the left take it off and block it with your finger and see if it helps
have u checked the IACV? cleaned it and tested it

well try what i said above, with putting finger over the pipe
then take it off (abit of a pain as at back of engine) clean it, replace it, see of its opening and closing, see if its got a voltage etc etc

if the ECU light is not on (depending weather its been wired in) then all sensors are fine and will be no codes.
tryed what i said, as thats a common falt, the IACV sticking open, and there will not be a Error code if it has

try the lambda sensor, i'm sure this might have been my problem, try runing around for a few days with it unplugged, i think i unpluged mine and it in turn put my ecu light on however my idle dropped to about 1k and it was so much better on fuel, like i said it was a long time ago though and can't remember exactly
