Gerardo Duron  there are just to many variables. Things like a bad O2 Sensor to problems with the Throttle body or bad IAC valve, bad fuel pump and many other things.. Your best bet would be to scan the OBD (try Autozone etc. fro free scans) and see what codes it throws. Let us know what you find out.
