So, when I come off the highway and come to a complete stop, sometimes the idle speed drops too low (like to 500), the engine shakes for a second then the rpm recovers (to 700 +/-).
What is the common cause of this - dirty throttle body?
Car has 40K miles.
Thanks

Any codes? I would start by checking the air filter and yes throttle body

I did not connect a scanner to look for codes, but the Check Engine light has not come on.
Air filter is new. Maybe its time for a fuel-injector/throttle-body cleaning.

I had the same issue took it to the dealer and there was a new program they told me would fix it. so they did a reprogram of the ECU and it hasnt happened since.
