Does it start easily, or does it take a couple of tries?
If you borrow a scanner, (or read the codes with paperclip, and count the pulses of your engine light) there is a code buried in there that explains the problem.
Might be throttle position sensor (TPS), the idle air bypass (IAB) or a number of other things, but the code will steer you in the right direction.
