Q: Stalls when slowing down or at idle

asked by on January 30, 2017

Vehicle occasionally stutters like it wants to stall sometimes. Only happens when slowing to a stop or slowing to make a right turn. Has stalled out once but started back up right away. No dummy lights on dash. Cleaned throttle body, fuel injectors, changed spark plugs, problem remains.

My car has 131000 miles.
My car has an automatic transmission.
