Is the AC on while this happens, or does it happen more when you turn the steering wheel and or have the wheel turned pretty far putting stress on the powersteering pump? Anything like that? Those things will cause the motor to bog down like that but the ECM compensates for it by bumping up the idle to keep it from dieing so to speak.
