I have a 1997 Toyota 4runner, when I come to a stop, take off, or sometimes when its in drive, the engine starts shaking and feels like its going to cut off. What could cause this? Just started doing this all of a sudden.

The car runs fine until I come to a stop, then engine shakes and runs very rough until I get up speed again.
