Check your codes. See what they read.

I agree with S70driver first thing you need to do is pull codes.
Also what year is the car?

Also have the dealer check for an open recall. The 155 campaign relates to your issue.

You will need to have someone pull the codes out of the engine control module.

Your car doesn't have one you have a electroninc throttle body.

Thats why we keep saying have the codes pulled.

Those throttle body's have a 10 Year 200,000 mile warranty on them.

Specter,

I was having issues with the engine revving up and down a lot and sometimes almost stalling (although mine didn't actually stall - but went down to about 200 rpm before surging back up). Anyway, I had a mechanic read the codes and the throttle body codes came up so they fixed it under the warranty that tech mentioned and now it's running totally smooth (in that respect).
