Welcome to the forum. :y

First step is to try a paperclip test as described here and report back any codes it flashes out : http://www.omegaowners.com/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1189022687

First thing to try would be to clean the ICV (Idle Control Valve).

look again, a little more thoroughly, there is a catch at the top dead centre, under the steering wheel to release the cover.

sounds most like a good service needed, with the bits above doing, but there may be faults logged too  :y

Clean the ICV, etc. first and you might not need to worry about the code read.  ;)
