Uh check your BAC valve if it is connected. try raising your idle a bit that might help also.

As for the tune-up change everything you can afford to. Air, oil, fuel filters, plugs and wires, thermostat. get a haynes and download the FSM and get to reading.

Check TPS first!!!!

Ive cured this problem more then once with a tps alignment.

The TPS adjustment is when you use a multimeter so make sure or fix the voltage it gives out at idle. 1 volt or 1 Ohm i believe.

Put more ground wires in your car. Do a search on grounding in the second generation section of the website.

TPS = Throttle Position Sensor. I tells the computer the throttle is closed or open.
