moisture in the throttle body. dry it up or let it sit for a while. it should disappear. take the plug out of the vaporizer and adjust it.

You may want to check the throttle position sensor under the accelerator pedal. You may want to drain the lp regulator and remove and clean the air-fuel ratio assembly. It is on the side of the air horn, held in by 2 Philips screws.
