Please don't use text speak. It's not necessary and really hard to read.

mine had that kind of problem even though i do have an air filter lol. turned out to be the idle control valve. But i have been told the map sensor can cause this as well?

Get an air filter on it asap, you are killing your motor without one.

Clean your idle control valve and throttle body
