does it do it above idle,if not clean/renew your idle control valve

its next to the throttle body butterfly at the back.
its got a connection on it,disconnect it and give it a clean with some alchol then reconnect and try,if not its probably needs replacing,does the engine rev up fine or run above idle ok?

If it's struggling when coming to a stop as you depress the clutch (close to conking out) I would say Idle speed control valve, but if not then then go with what saxmaster said and look into it being a faulty injector.
