'98 4 cyl. problems

When allowed to sit and idle it will idle fine for a few minutes at around 1000-1100RPMs, then it will drop to about 600 and idle really rough.

Other problem is you'll be driving down the road and it looses power, shut the key off and start it right back and it runs normally.

Thanks in advance!!!!!!!!

i would check to make sure the MAF is clean,
clean IAC and check TPS + PCV valve.
