Car vibrates at when I stop. Why??
My civic shakes when I stop, and has a low RPM. Could it be a belt or something? I just change the filter yesterday and it still does it.

What RPM is it idling at? It's supposed to be about 750 rpms.
If it's low......Then follow the proper procedure to adjust the idle adjustment screw. It's a brass flathead screw on the throttle body near the intake tube.

my car shaked and the steering wheel shaked when i put the brakes on and stopped.
turned out something was wrong with the rotors
probably not the problem for you if your steering wheel doesnt shake as well
but just a suggestion
good luck.

I think he meant misfiring, in that one or more cylinders don't always ignite and burn cleanly. If this happens often enough the car will idle low.
As others have mentioned, start with the simple maintenance items - plugs, wires, distributor cap, distributor rotor, & fuel filter...
Do your belts squeak at all? I've witnessed low idle being due to a slipping alternator belt.
Get your alternator checked, if it's under where it should or even on the low side the engine will have a hard time consistently sparking at low RPMs.

Re: (MonkeyBoy668)
I have the same problem in my car. It idles at 400 RPMs and has stalled on me a few times in the past month. I have changed the plugs, wires, but have yet to check the cap and rotor. Someone told me it could be the Idle Air Control Valve (IACV) and that I should clean it, but everyone neglects to tell me the proper way to clean it.

Re: (theqballer)
Officially you're not supposed to clean an IACV, you're supposed to flat-out replace it. If it's failed, of course. I think there's a blurb in my Helms for how to determine if the IACV is functional.
From what I remember the folks who cleaned their IACV used carb cleaner. Don't remember if they disassembled the part at all. Sorry.
