Default Engine thrashes randomly at low rpm - What gives?



My engine starts thrashing around randomly when I slow down or at idle.

This doesn't happen all the time. It comes and goes. When it does, the car seems to about stall, but doesn't(a few times it did stall, though).

Any ideas?

The engine also shakes when I'm making a sharp right at an intersection. But that is another issue.

Id prolly say it could be your idle control valve. It could be other things but i think that could be it.

Yeah, it just did it while I was at a stop light. The whole car is shaking. It goes away when I press the throttle.

Any ideas on how to fix this?
