Could be lots of things.  I'd start by looking for a big vacuum leak.  Something like the brake booster or similar item.  Then perhaps check to make sure the IAC is working and the TPS is good.

Yea Cliff you're right.  I missread the part of pushing the gas and only going to 3200 RPM.

Might even be plugged exhaust.
