Mine did this last week and it was because my air filter housing came loose from the throttle body.. My machanic didn't tighten the hose clamp after doing some work on the car. I was so happy it wasn't anything more serious.

The throttle body has a plastic cover over it. It just lifts straight up and off, no screws, then you can see where the plastic tube connects to the throttle body, It has to be on tight. I hope this could be your problem, and nothing more serious.

Steveq, would u be able to send a pic of where that would be cause i dont see it i must be over looking or something.
