Help: Car stalling ... fuel problem???

Hi guys, Hope someone could have some ideas on what might be causing this. Last nite, all of a sudden, my car started acting up after start up. RPMs are oscillating up and down while idle and eventually stalls. This is also apparent thru shifts while driving. Car constantly wants to quit. There is also a loss of response from acceleration like it is not receiving adequate gas.

Thanks in Advance

Forgot to mention... can't take car in to get seen til Monday... While talking briefly with the service guy, he mentioned that it could be moisture in the tank. Could this be the case?

If you have little gas, this might be it. with the cold, my car did the same thing, auto. I went to go fillup and she was fine later.
