Without any further information I can only provide a general answer. The symptoms you describe sound like a vacuum leak, most likely in the intake somewhere. This can cause all of the issues you are describing.
Still not sure what you need?
Have a certified mobile mechanic diagnose what's wrong with your car, at your home or office.
