ECT sensor
Throttle position sensor incorret output

If you don't have an automatic eliminate the Fast idle thermo valve as a possible cause.

I was figuring it was a radiator problem because of where he noted steam in the engine bay. If air got into the system through a leak in the radiator, it could cause his funky idle.
