You can also check the Air Filter, and also see if the fuel system may be clogged. The easiest way is to put a vial of Lucas Fuel System Treatment (around $6) into your tank, fill the tank, and drive on the highway until almost empty in one shot. That stuff works!

You can also check the Idle Speed Control, which opens the "choke" when the engine gets warm. If it doesn't open it, it could be making the engine run rich (too much fuel). It could be dirty, or broken, an inexpensive fix.
