I have some things to look for. Go over the engine for ANY vacuum leaks. Check the air flow sensor (the big round plate) to make sure is is centered. Make sure the lambda system is functioning (If it is making a loud buzzing sound it is working and probably OK.) If possible actually pull parts and check them like the idle motor and the hoses going to and from it, the cold start valve and the "O" ring in the intake manifold etc; etc;. I have seen so many times that the place you can't see is the spot that the trouble is like a hole in a hose, a burnt or kinked hose, an improperly seated hose. You would be amazed at the damage the metal intake hose can do by rubbing where you can't see. Once you can get it to idle adjust the mixture screw.
