you can take it off and spray brake cleaner in to it to see if cleaning its makes it work again.

Mine had that issue for ever. Only time I ever noticed a problem was when I would take off from a stop sign at low speeds it would cause the car to struggle. DELETED that thing and never had another issue.

Ok and I didn't drive it for a week and went to drive it and it idled like 💩 for a few seconds and when it got warm it was ok,did it earlier but only sit for a day or 2,could the valve being sticky be the problem?

Likely it's stuck. Here's the actual GM info on the DTC. http://www.gearchatter.com/viewtopic8714.php
Scotty... take note of that site. Great info and usually you'll find the answer in the diagnostic aids if they have them.
