check the oxygen sensors. I had same problem before and I replaced with new ones (There are 4 btw) then the problem disappeared.

Myu car was CPO'ed so it cost nothing. It's some valve near the intake that needs to be replaced. I would expect it will cost you somewhere in the 4-5 range if your mechanic does the work.
