That "mulleted monkey" was probably adjusting the TPS (throtle position sensor). There are 2 screws that hold it on the TB. Just take a screw driver and unscrew them just a little bit (enough to move it) and trun the sensor left of right until the car idle's were you want it to. That might help ya out. Also, try unplugging the Idle air bypass sensor (it's that thing that is mounted at an angle on the TB). I did it to my car when I was having idling problems and it worked. Keep in mind, it's just a temporary fix. Hope this helps.
You can always give your car to me
I'll fix it
