My car is idling ruff, shaking at an idle. It runs fine when I'm going about 35 mph or above, then I slow down or stop and it is shaking and feels like it is going to stall.

Has the check engine light come on? Also, have you checked for vacuum leaks?

If the light has come on, take the car to a nationally recognized parts store and have them scan the computer for codes. Most will do it for free unless you live in CA. The code the get will identify where the problem is coming from. Do that before checking for leaks and let me know what you find.
