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.

Thanks, I will try this also and yes it sure would be a cheap fix. Thanks again.
