Yes. I had similar [prob with 88 Cent wagon way back when. Have someone check the mass air flow sensor and most of all, check the idle air control valve (IAC). I went through a lot with mine, but a new IAC finally solved prob.

Good luck.

Check your TCC solenoid. You are describing a classic TCC failure.
