If you have a vehicle wiht the 1.9L engine - disconnect the O2 sensor and observe the effect. If you have 2.1L engine - disconnect the idle stabiliser valve on the top of the engine. Observe the effect. If the problem continues - disconnect the O2 sensor and observer the effect. If the problem stops reconnect the idle stabiliser valve. In both cases - 1.9L or 2.1 L if the O2 sensor shows a fault, simply replace it. If the problem persists, check out the ignition system.
