I have a similar problem with my 2006. It only happens when it has not been started for a few days.

check the idle valve.small silver or metal looking thing under the intake manifold.put a long 1/4 inch extention on it and tap it with a hammer a few times.if it continues to idle after that replace the idle valve.
