could be a number of things. done a tuneup lately?
spark plugs/wires/cap/rotor
pcv valve
my dad's jimmy was doing the same thing and it was the plugs.
it could be a number of things but thats a good starting point. fairly cheap and should be done anyways if it hasn't been done in a while

i would doubt the injectors if you drive fine and accelerate fine.
if its not the plugs try the pcv valve and also look for a vaccum leak somewhere. cracked hose or something unplugged
