Hi there , ok looks like you have a fuel problem , try to replace the fuel filter, if you did replaced and continue in the same problem , check the crank position sensor, behind the engine, left side between the top of the transmission comun problem. letme know

it sounds like its the air idle control valve on the throttle body. pop it off and clean it and see how that works for you.

it would also be a good idea to clean the throttle body if its never been done they can become so gummed up that the iac motor simply doesnt have enough range to compensate for the coked up throttle body
