That would be what I check first. Take off the clamp that holds the hose from the airbox to the throttle body, and clean the varnish/carbon/funk from the rotating valve flap (metal part that rotates), as well as the sides of the chamber. I cleaned mine front and back with a toothbrush and carb cleaner. After it was put back together I did get a code that I had to clear (it may have been my coolant temp. sensor code since I changed my t-stat too), but no more problems since then. BTW it is also a good time to clean/replace/remove the flame trap if you have one.

Happy motoring,
Rick '94 855
