Hello,

There are a number of thing that can cause your problem.

Can you give more details as to your problem...

Does it do it when slowing down or just sitting at a light or sign?

Does it do it when you turn engine off? spit and spudder before shutting down.

Is engine light on if so go by your local parts store and have them pull codes. Post them here...
