Might want to check the IAC for being gummed up. Do a search and Im sure you will find a lot on the subject. Real easy to check and clean.

yes, yes. Dirty IAC (Idle Air Control) - Just had the same problem. Pull your air filter, spray some carb cleaner in the hole at the 12 o'clock position. spray generously until you get a clear flow back. did the trick for me. I got alot of black gunk out of there.
