Not sure, but check your distributor cap ...the interior electrodes should be bright and shiny. If you find any oxide coating, replace cap and rotor. Sometimes the ignition coil can cause problems. Have you replaced your sparkplugs or plug wires lately?

Usual suspects; IAC, EGR (vacuum leak), other vacuum leak.

well i finally took it to the shop and they replaced the distributer spark plugs and wires and it worked well for about six weeks but is now doing the same exact thing. also could anyone tell me where the idle air control valve is located?

it is located under your throttlebody- it's a unit that's screwed on to the bottom

I had a similar problem about a year ago. It was the ignition coil. Only $35 at Advance Auto Parts. I highly recommend changing the coil.
