Hey there!

It is the TPS (throttle possitioning sensor), sometimes adjusting is enough, but I would recommend a new one. Visit your local store, it should be cheap cca 15-30USD.

Where it is? Open the hood, look at the "butterfly" - throttle valve, it is behind it, on the other side of intake pipe.

Do not remove it on yourself, do not even loose its screws. Ohm meter, socket for that TPS is needed and you need 0.70mm and 0.35mm thin pads to make it right.

Best regards.
