Your throttle plate is probably gunked up...

If you don't feel like sea foaming.

Pull off the intake tube, and spray some carb/throttle body cleaner on it while opening up the throttle body plate by hand (like revving the engine) while the car is off.

Wipe off w/ rag, spray some more if you want.

Hook everything back up.

Start the car (you may have to gas it a little when you start the car bcs of the carb cleaner).
