First I would try cleaning my Idle Air Control Valve. Here's a short how to video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i82s4ZfR2js I would also give the entire throttle body a good cleaning. If after cleaning the IAC, and the problem still persists, I would have the Cat converter checked. When they become plugged the car will not accelerate.
