lambda sensor, mine did that when the front 02 sensor died.
wouldnt idel very well and revs dropped really low like it was about to stall after revving

Air mass meter can cause similar symptoms, but I'd check thoroughly for an air leak first. Get the codes out of it too even if you need to pay to get it read, it may save you money in the long run.

Start with the simple stuff

Look for loose vacuum hoses , check ISV
