Check the rubber "T" piece in the vacuum pipework underneath where the coil pack is, it is prone to splitting or coming off. This gives symptoms similar to your description. Another possibility is the IAC valve, it controlls the amount of air going in to the engine on tickover and low throttle and can stick. You could try cleaning it out with carb cleaner..
