Default Idle problem?

When my car is idling and i just lightly tap the gas it shakes and then it goes up with the RPMs what might be causing the problem?
I have 1999 Camaro V6 3.8L

Sounds like it is misfiring. Does the SES light flash when it is shaking? Do you have any codes? Could be something simple as plugs and wires, bad coil or could be more complicated, depending on if you have codes or not.

I am going to also say tune up time. You really didnt give us enough info to advise beyond that.
