hey, i had the same problem with my celica, it could possibly be the oxygen sensor, a diagnostic tool can tell you, mecanics charge about 40 euro to check it, or as many suggest, it can just need a good tune up

Bring it to a mechanic and get the idle control valve cleaned or replaced.

your safest bet really would be to get the diagnostic tool put on the car, if its anything electric it will find it
