I was having the same problem.After looking at the throttle sensor area I tried this and it worked.There are 3 wires connected to the throttle housing.I disconnected all 3 for about 10-15 seconds.After reconnecting,the problem was solved.This is not to say it will fix your problem but it never hurts to start with the easy stuff.
