it maybe...

1. Vacuum leakage
2. Leaking ERG Valve
3. Air filter clogged
4. fuel pump not delivering sufficient fuel to the fuel injection
system
5. Leaking head gasket
6. timing chain and/or sprockets worn
7. camshaft lodes worn
8. or may be that your idle speed is incorrect

hope your max gets well soon,

Check the adjustment of the cold idle linkage. There's a plunger down under the throttle body that opens the throttle plate up slightly when your car is cold. It acts sort of like a choke by bumping up your idle speed when you start the car. There are small scroll marks on the linkage that will guide you in setting up the cold idle circuit. These scroll marks should be lined up with each other after the car sits overnight.

The Haynes Shop Manual explains the system pretty good.

You may also need to clean your IACV. (Idle Air Control Valve)
