get some throttle body cleaner and give the t/b a birthday. good place to start. also check that no vacuum connections are cracked. rubber bungs or hoses.

One thing that does happen to those is a wire on the back of the alternator can degrade at the connection. It's in a little plastic cover so is impossible to find if you're looking for a potential problem. Have a look at that, and if it's in bad nick just cut it back a bit and re-crimp a round connector on, and refit. Might be as simple as that. might not. Good luck mate.
