I have a cutlass ciera oldsmobile and it has some bad idle problems. When i start my car i have to hurry up and take off or my car will die. I can't even warm it up in the mornings. once i get driving down the road it seems to run fine. At stop lights it trys to rev itself but remains unsuccesful. it also shakes and wobbles badly when i'm going to stop. Do you know whats wrong?

Do you have a check engine light and when was the last major tune-up?

Might want to have the coolant temperature sensor/idle air control valve and throttle position sensor checked out-
