As in....RPMs drop and car sputters a bit? I'm pretty sure all cars do that fairly often if its not under load

Clean the throttle body. These cars tend to get a build up on the throttle and it can affect the idle a little bit. These cars don't like cold weather

Check for codes anyways.... It might save a code without throwing the CEL.
