What car/engine/ecu/mods....need more information, but from the looks of it, a vacuum leak may be the culprit.

check the iac valve, clean out the ports in the throttle body.

if your throwing a code then its more than likely the iac valve. If not then check all your vaccum lines for a vaccum leak.
