Probably just cause the idle's too low (ie, just like not giving it enough gas).

I dunno .. it could totally be something else. Bent valve, fried clutch, or worse. But those are pretty unlikely, and there's a pretty famous principle that says that whenever you have a problem, the simplest explanation is usually the right one (see Ockham's Razor ). Why go looking for a bigger problem when a 4-dollar bottle of injector cleaner might do ya?
