That's your airflow sensor - maybe it is bad, as mine had the same behavior when I forgot to reconnect my sensor into the air intake snorkel... Plugging it back in stopped that issue after shutting off the car and re-starting it.

Your air sensor may be on its way out...as in dieing. You can try the unplugging it and plugging it back in, but you'll probably need a new one.

you should also check the ground bundle on the front of the intake manifold. there are two studs sticking up on either side. Corrosion can make these lose ground. these bolts can also back off. they ground all your sensors in the front of engine..... IAC, TPS, IAT, Ignition module and temp sensor....
