Why are my RPMs so low?

My Car runs good like when i first start drivin it, but then when i start to drive it and it gets warm it feels like it looses power. The RPMs in 1st get way too high before switchin to 2nd. Then when its heated already and im at a stop sign or a red light my RPMs get so low that my car wants to turn off and it has a few times but it starts right back up with no problem. Do yall think i need a tune up? What yall think this is? I can make use of any replies. thankyou.

A tune up would help. Check compression for evenness and let us know what the presssure is. If all is well, spray brake cleaner around the hoses to make sure there are no vacuum leaks. Clean the TB and IAC. Reset the base idle and see what happens.
