Very often, my 2009 corolla will have a very low idle, the car acts as it is going to stall. It shudders, the tach drops low, but then will come back up. It happens several times per week when i am either backing up or going from a stop into first gear. I have driven only manual transmissions for over 26 years, and this is the first vehicle i have owned that this has happened with. I fear i will be hit from behind,…
