might not be an engine issue,but 1st you could try this (and you should do this anyway to keep the car running nice) ..get some carb/throttle spray cleaner, and clean the throttle assembly/housing at the top,and the flaps by removing the end of the big rubber boot that goes to the throttle area, ajust the throttle cable also to get the tension right, and clean out the icv

also, when was the fuel filter last changed ? i did mine today for the 1st time..easy job

done all the above myself recently,and the car idles/res/drives lovely
