Typical symptoms of either stuck IAC or CPS.
First off, start with cleaning the IAC head and port. Next if nothing, replace the CPS.

How to Clean the IAC Solenoid:
This is recommended at every Tune-Up to prevent excess carbon buildup on the IAC plunger. In some cases, you'll notice a slightly erratic idle quality. This is the first step in taking care of that problem. IAC = Intake Air Control (Solenoid).
1. Remove the Air Hat from the Throttle Body
2. Disconnect the sensor harness from the IAC Solenoid (Rear of Throttle Body)
3. Remove the two Torx-25 Screws
4. Remove the IAC Solenoid (Be careful not to lose the rubber O-Ring)
5. Spray some Carb/TB Cleaner in the IAC port on the Throttle Body and let it sit
6. Spray some Carb/TB Cleaner on the tip of the IAC Solenoid and wipe clean (Do NOT forcefully twist or push the plunger - You will damage the Solenoid. Wipe very gently.)
7. Spray a little bit more Carb/TB Cleaner in the IAC port on the Throttle Body and wipe clean with a thin/lint-free rag
8. Reinstall the IAC Solenoid (Make sure you don't lose the rubber gasket on the solenoid)
9. Reinstall the sensor connector and airhat
10. Reset the computer: Engine Code Index (Check Engine Light?)

Like hydra said, check fuel pressure from the service pressure check port on the driver side and should be in the range of 50-54.
