do all the basics first. check plugs&leads and replace if suspect, replace fuel filter. run some injector cleaner through it. does it only do this when cold are all times when driving?

Could also be a vacuum leak somewhere on the induction system.

Had a similar problem on the parents VS V6, checked the resistance on the leads, and one of them was ridiculously high, replaced all the leads, problem solved.
