Clean the IAC valve. There is a DIY thread on this forum on how to do so. Search, or wait for Alloro to post the link for it.
Also try charging the battery fully, or replacing it if it is 5 years old or more, or has been abused since it was new. Every time a jump start is required counts as abuse which increases exponentially with each incident.
