Try cleaning the IAC (idle air control) valve -- its easy and cheap. Also, check the vacuum hoses coming out of the intake plenum and look for any leaks

Use the Search feature of the forum if you're not sure where the IAC is located or how to clean it.
 






thanks the iac worked out great no more sputter thanks

have you looked at all the vacuum lines.... does it stop when you rev the motor? If not it is most likely a vacuum problem. It also could be the egr valve. if the check engine light is on do a diognostics test. you can get it checked at an auto parts store.
