Hello,

This sounds like you could have a problem with your vehicle's Throttle Position Sensor [TPS]. This is the sensor that your vehicle uses to determine how much your vehicle's throttle is open so it know's how much fuel for the fuel injectors to inject for the proper Air:Fuel ratio. If this signal is not getting to the Power-train Control Module [PCM], or "computer" this will cause this condition, or other driveability concerns. In the diagrams down below I have included the procedure for the inspection and cleaning of the throttle body for your vehicle. Please go through this guide and get back to us with how everything turns out.

Thanks,
Alex
