Car hickups sometimes when cold!! What??

My car hickups in the mornings and the rpm is very low too. and when I put it in drive the rpm really becomes low. Driving and performancewise, no changes. Also when the car warms up and and I'm stopped, it doesn't hickup anymore.
Any suggestions?
I was thinking maybe electrical problems?
May be time to change the ground wires?

Thanks

Idle Air Control valve
it regulates the idle speed when cold, when the A/C is on, and on some models when parking.

How much are they? Should risk the buying of a used one from a junkyard?
Also, where is this valve located?

VERY expensive (at least by me) get the FSM and follow the testing procedures before you buy anything else.
No point in wasting money.
