My wifes mx6 has had similiar problems a couple or three times..

Get some carb cleaner and spray the throttle butterfly valve real good... then drive the hell out of it. It should clean up very quickly. dirt seems to build up and not let the butterfly seat properly.

Also check the air intake hose for a leak. My MX3 had a crack in the intake boot and it did the same thing. Cost $230 to find that out.
