There have been two separate incidents that this happened. First, I went to a clothing store and returned to my car after about 10 minutes. When I started the car, it made it to around 1000rpms and then dropped all the way down until it stalled. It did this again on the second try. I then was able to give it gas right after starting and get out of the parking lot. A similar thing happened after getting a few gallons of gas. I haven't tried to solve the problem yet, as it usually isn't an issue. The only other thing I have noticed is a fluctuation in idle rpms while the car is in park and running (moves around from around 500-1000rpm). This only has occurred during the two times the car started and stalled.

The idle control motor is probably starting to fail, have this cleaned and if this dose not help get it replaced.
