Clean your idle control valve and that should fix your problem.

if your engine is cold maybe
or maybe your car thinks its a rotary

on the intet manifold near the throttle body.

has your engine check light ever come on

are you using more fuel than normal by any chance ???

yeh do what a couple of peeps have said, the IAC (intake air control) is a cylindrical black thing the size of a c sized battery with 2 hoses the thickness of a pencil conected to it ( coolant hoses)

all this is connected to the plenum chamber by 2 bolts, undo these, take alook at the guaze and it might well be blocked, get some carby cleaner in a car and spray and scrub with a tooth brush, even better use compressed air. bolt it back on and wahlah.

also, check all your vacuum hoses that are conected to the plenum chamber, i had one of them pop off the other night and my car di exactly the same thing as yours.
