Hi Robert
This might be something as simple as a vacuum leak, either in a rubber hose or connector. Pop the hood and listen and look for a vacuum hissing noise or a hose that is broken. You can also ask your mechanic to clean the throttle body and check the base idle to see if it is set to specs.

Blessings,
