Any codes? Check engine light won't necessarily be set by some issues. Does it happen only on a cold start or after it's been sitting for a while?/ Idle air controls I think can be cleaned out, you could try that. Possibly the purge valve is stuck open or the circuit that controls it is. Check for codes
