First things first....

Get a cheap code reader and pull the codes. It could be anything from bad plugs/wires, fuel pressure, vacuum leaks, any number of sensors, etc. etc. etc...

Is that the only problem? Does it run badly too, or is it fine once it starts?
once it's running after i push down on gas pedal it run fine except that it idles at around 1000 rpms
 
You have a vaccuum leak. :cool: If you did any work on it or had any work done on it recently, reseal the IC tubes. :cool:

Yeah, it sounds like some unmetered air is sneaking in. Probably either a typical vacuum leak or a failing IAC motor (which effectively creates a vacuum leak).
