Many of the 6 cyl. engines are prone to carbon build-up in the throttle body. If this is the case, it is best to clean it off the car and is fairly easy to do. Remove the snorkel, 1 electric fitting on the throttle body (a little tricky) and one vacuum line on tb as well. Four bolts remove the tb from the engine and the throttle body can be cleaned with throttle body cleaner from any auto supply store. An o-ring attaches the tb to the engine so that you will not destroy a gasket during the repair. Pretty easy and should take less than 1 hour, but be careful of sharp edges in the throttle body.
I would be suspect of the throttle position sensor, but have the codes read, WRITE THEM DOWN (if there are any), and report back here. TPS's failures will sometimes throw a code but does not require a CEL when they do.
