by a new Throttle Position Sensor $25 and clean out the Idle air bypass... if it still does it buy a new IAB $70... that's a very common problem on these cars.

It's the black sensor on top of the throttle body... it's usually that and the IAB which is the tube on the front of the throttle body... check this out!
