Hello,
This sounds like you might have a dirty idle air control valve (IAC).
The IAC controls the engine speed at idle. It is located on the throttle body.
Over time dirt and debris can build up inside the valve and that will restrict air flow. Which can lead to idling issues.
If it is bad enough it will make it difficult to start the engine.
Many times, this can be improved by simply cleaning out the IAC.
Here are a couple of helpful guides:

Please let me know if you have any questions.
Thank you.
