IT MAY BE SOME CARBON BUILD-UP IN THE THROTTLE BODY. Take the air cleaner off and you will see the flapper on the throttle body. Take some GUMOUT carb/throttle cleaner and spray it in and around this area and it helps to use a clean rag on it too. This should solve the problem I hope this helps you. Mark
