I would start with the throttlebody.
I had a simuliar problem you describe and found the idle valve solenoid was broken. Not to mention the TB was pretty well gummed up. You are going to spend about 55 bucks to fix this...if this indeed the problem. The idle valve solenoid is about 43 bucks and the TB cleaner is around 4 and your TB gasket is going to run you about 6 bucks.
If you want to spend even more money, I would suggest for 6 bucks that you dump a can of Seafoam into the gas tank. Seafoam is some awesome stuff.
