Hi:
My first guess would be a throttle position sensor (TPS) or an idle air control valve (IAC). Is there a check engine light coming on for you? You may want to have the computer scanned for codes. Most nationally rcognized parts stores will do it for free. Try that and let me know what you find.

No their is no check engine lamp on. I have no air leaks. I have checked my codes and none show up.
