This happens when there is a vacuum leak, low fuel pressure or the throttle body needs to be serviced. Here are guides to help us fix the problem and I have included images below to help you with your car. Also clean the IAC motor as well.

Use this guide when the engine is cold only:

Check out the images (below). Let us know what happens and please upload pictures or videos of the problem so we can see what's going on.
