Sounds like AFM if you back off throttle does the car feel like it wants to stall? Check your Spark Plugs.

Try unplugging the afm while the motor is idling, if the idle comes good then afm is ng or connections to it are bad. moisture and crud can muck up the signal too so try giving the plug n socket a spray with contact cleaner or crc etc. and see what happens.
