Hi: I had the same problem and I found that the spark plug gap was very large.

Since it acts up intermittently, and doesn't set a code, I would think the idle stepper motor is sticking. It may have build up around the plunger.

Remove the air filter. Look for the idle hole that's located in the upper area of the throttle body on this side of the throttle plate. Spray some carb. cleaner in the hole several times, letting it sit and soak in between sprays, then start the engine and spray in the hole again. You will have to open the throttle to keep it running. This may not be the problem, but it is an inexpensive fix if it does work. Good luck.

It happened right after my 15 k service and they did change my plugs. I will have to check the gap. But wouldn't it happen alot more often thou?

Checked gap on plugs, it was about .045-46. Regapped to .040, maybe it will change things..... but who knows.
