Either your IAC (idle air control) sensor, or you just need to raise up your idle with the BISS (base idle set screw). I would try the biss first. It should be on top of the throttle body. I think that should do it

You can get a used one for about sixty bucks though, with a one year parts protection. Thats what I did when mine went bad and it has been fine for awhile.
