Welcome to Just Answer!!!

There are 2 common issues for this you either have a mass air flow sensor issue or a throttler body issue the first thing that you will need to do is have the faults checked in the engine control module with a scan tool this will pin point one of the 2 issues fpr you . I hope this helps.
