If it is just when you start up, check your idle air control valve on your throttle body. That valve controls your idle during starts and cold weather, so that your car warms up quicker. Your idle should be around 650-750 I believe, you can fine tune it via the screw on your throttle body. Probably should check out your idle air control valve just to be sure though, mine went all whacky a few months ago..
