Hi,

Does this happen when the engine is warm as well? Tina, this vehicle isn't offered in the US, so my technical info is very limited. However, I'll try to help.

I can tell you that there are a few things that can cause this. Things like an engine vacuum leak, a faulty idle air control valve, and many other things.

Let me know if the engine is running smoothly when this happens and if the check engine light stays on when the engine is running.

Take care,
Joe
