Sounds like you need to clean the Idle air control valve. It would be a good idea to clean the throttle body while your at it. This video should help . Hope this helps

This answer was very helpful to me. My mechanic failed, but with the answer and the aid of the YouTube video I did it myself. I did clean the idle air control valve with carburetor cleaner. Though it took a little bit of time to start.
