That would be my first guess, but you need to pull codes before shotgunning this one.

On your Throttle body. It'* the little doohicky that moves when you advance the throttle. Black gizmo. 3-wire harness. About $30 bucks I think. I can post a pic of one (I have Jseabert'* old one) in an hour or so if you want.
