--Welcome--

Sounds like the infamous vaccum issue. Check all intake hoses starting from the intake bellow (boot from AFM to Throttle body) and all the associated hoses beneath the intake manifold as well. Cleaning your AFM & TB can also help as well.

G. Luck.

From experience it sounds like it might be a TPS (throttle position sensor) item #2

Good luck.
