Go to junkers get the bottom half of the Throttlebody (called the IAC) Unscrew it with the 4 philips heads screws... then put it on ures!
I had the same thing and it was IAC. Cost me about $5

Before you do anything check the plastic pipe from Intake (throttle body) to box, your main air intake. If it is cracked it can cause all kinds of grief. another cheap junk yard part & a common problem.

99% of the time those are the symptoms of a cracked air intake. Check the plastic accordian.
