I got a shop to read the error code and got this error. They are telling me that the idle air controller motor is sticking and needs to be replaced. They are estimating $185 for the repair. I am no mechanic, but I have been told that this is easy to replace. Anybody got any info or ideas? Thanks.

"Sticking" might be fixable with a few squirts of carburetor cleaner. I am thinking that your shop might have a policy of replacing the entire unit, because it is a more reliable fix. Maybe you can find someone else, who is willing to clean it instead.

dvrdn72 did pass the time by typing:
soooper easy.
Best thing to do is to clean it first with some TB cleaner. Be careful of the gasket. If you rip it you will need a new one. And don't pull on the pintle (pointy thing that sticks out of the coil).
