Idle Air Control motor. It's in the throttle body. the idle gets a little bit off when it starts to go. There's no way to adjust the idle on a 2gnt, btw

Actually, there is, it does have a set screw, but there's a cap covering it and is not recommended for setting the idle.

its attached on the backside of your throttle body via two screws. You'll need to use a star type allen wrench to loosen the screws, and free the idle air control motor (IAC). here...

Its called Torx.

It could also be a large vacuum leak which may be a free fix so check for all possible leaks first.
