It's your Mass Airflow Sensor. you will find it attached to your throttle intake tube.

There are little pin like sensors when you look at it. Take some rubbing alcohol and a qtip and gently rub the dirt off.

I would disconnect your battery during this, and wait maybe a half hour before reconnecting. It will reset your engine ECU.

This should take care of the problem.

well its a gt.. i put in regular 87 , or 89 into it.. should i be putting in something else?

Just put regular 87 in it. There is no need to put anything higher.

Sal was most likely asking if you had a GT-S and perhaps were not putting premium in it. This would cause an erratic idle as well.
