Josh mentioned a vacuum leak could cause this.
I hear that you can locate a vacuum leak by using a propane.
I found this in the DML archives.

"With the engine running, take a propane plumbers torch
and open the valve but do not light the torch. Aim the nozzle around the
hoses and intake manifold, wherever you suspect a vacuum leak. When the
engine RPM picks up, you have probably found the leak."
