Check for vaccum leaks and check the map sensor.... There is a coffee can looking container that is known to rot out on the passenger side under the hood... The junkyard will prob have the new updated plastic one that won't cause Vaccum leaks.
If that doesn't fix it then pull the throttle body, clean it, and replace or clean the IAC (idle air control valve)
