Try cleaning the throttle body. Check the air mass meter as well.

I beleive you should have a mass meter.It should mount in the air filter lid.
Look for a plug by the air filter box.I believe it has like 8 or 10 wires in it.

The throttle body is easy to clean.Remove the hose.Then remove the rod to the throttle body.Then remove the 3 nuts holding it on.Then clean it.I would also clean the idle motor that is located under the intake.It is a cylinder looking thing with 2 hoses going to it and 1 plug.
