1) Welcome to the Zone!

2) You're best off asking these sorts of questions in the Tech Forum; your question might get buried in here

3) There's a very high chance it's the air slide valve:

what year is the car?

could be the air slider valve under the inlet manifold sticking.

take it off and blow threw it make sure it fine, also check for something simply like sticking throttle cable.
