car runes fine at idle when cold but as soon as it gets hot it idles at 400 rpms and dies out when reaching idle when driving.

check the small filter (or whatever it is) behind the ISC and clean it. Make sure ISC is working properly (should click after you turn off the car, also check resistance).

before doing that, it's worht trying to disconnect the plug from the ICSV while the car is running good at cold idle.
If the car keeps idling just fine when it gets warm it's your icsv. If it still stalls it's probably something else.

Did you check for codes yet ?
