Could be in need of a tune-up, perhaps cleaning of the MAF sensor, or like Zach said, the intake could be dirty or the filter could be causing it...

I would suggest posting this thread in the xB forum, if you get no answers there, perhaps check out the Scikotics website, there are a good deal of xB owners that may have the information you need to get yourself squared away.

Make sure you don't have a vacuum hose off somewhere. You will here a sucking noise, and if's bad enough, the car will run bad, and or stall.

My 240 had a loose MAF sensor that caused this. Does it idle normal, dip down until the car shudders, and then rev up again?

I would definitely go over your whole intake system with a fine tooth comb and make sure everything is spotless.
