I can think of 4 things right off hand that could cause this. I will answer in order of least expensive to most expensive.

1. Bad or unplugged vacumn line.
2. Idle Air Control ( IAC ) solenoid. ( Bad connection or bad solenoid ).
3. Exhaust Gas Recirculation valve stuck open. ( Could be just carbon builup, bad connection or bad altogether.
4. Cracked intake manifold or bad manifold gasket.

Let me know what you find and if we were any help, please contribute a little something for the cause.
