Hi Marc

Sounds like  you're dealing with a similar problem that one of the other
members
is/was struggling with.   You need to check for vacuum leaks and the
throttle valve
switch adjusted.   From your description it sounds like it's just a little
touchy at the
bottom end of the revs.   You may need to clean the throttle body too....

I'll let the rest of the folks discuss the other possibilities.....
