Sounds like your Idle Air Control valve is dirty. Take off your air intake. Here's a short video on how to do it. Not the same vehicle, but they are all located in the same general area. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i82s4ZfR2js

The TPS ( throttle position sensor) its directly under the IAC ( Idle air control Valve) I had that problem and put a used one in and now it’s starting to happen again. Good luck
