What engine?

Could be lots of things

Vacuume leak, timing off, bad plugs, Bad distrubutor, TPS, Coolant Temp Sensor

eh, that's super common. mine does it too.

it's not that big of a deal. think of it as a theft-deterrant lol

try cleaning your iacv valve

[Zero_X]

lol ok..i'll clean it..yea..lol no check engine light or nothing so i thought it was no biggie..but just got worried..

[Zero_X]

to clean the iacv how do u take it out..seems like u need a philips screw driver but there is not enough room...jw....
