Check that the cam timing is right. When my bottom pulley slipped on the key it did this. Could also be a duff the crank pos sensor. check the ign timing with a strobe.

best bet it throttle body idle control etc..
either use a cloth covered in carb cleaner and wipe the inside of the throttle body
or take it off all together and clean it
