RX 300 has rough idle
I have a 2002 RX 300 with 114k miles. Over the course of the last few days, I have experienced an extremely rough idle when first starting the car. It actually died one time when I put it in drive. Once the car warms up, it seems to get better. What could cause this? Idle air control valve? Timing belt? Clogged or stuck fuel injector? Air/ fuel sensor? The MIL is not on and I hooked a code reader up to it and got no codes. MIL is ok, as is the fuel system indicators and O2 sensor indicators. Thanks

This morning the car would not start without giving it gas. Ambient temp was 55 degrees. It would not idle at all. After 4 or 5 minutes of keeping the RPM's around 1500, the engine warmed up and idled fine. Is this definately a faulty idle air control valve issue? Anything else to consider?
