Had the same problem, I cleaned my Mass Air Flow sensor ( with the recommended cleaner ) and IAC valve. While doing this , I noticed that my positive battery cable was seriously loose at the terminal. Although cleaning the sensors helped, I think my major problem was the battery cable....problem fixed. I'm now a firm believer in starting off with the battery in any troubleshooting procedure.
