A simple thing that can cause that is a vacuum leak. Check all your vacuum hoses under the hood for a leak.

My 03 does the same thing. There is a TSB out that explains what is going on, and the fix for it is to get the ECM reflashed. I haven't had time to get mine done. Does yours sometimes act like it idles down so far and quits, then at other times tries to idle at 1500rpm?

General Motors Technical Service Bulletin (TSB) 04-06-04-063 calls for reprogramming the Power Control Module (PCM)
