I was pulling out of a parking spot at the store and my car started to get really wobbly and ended up stalling. All the lights on the dashboard came on and it wouldn't move. I turned the car off and then on and it started just fine. I have noticed that my RPMs are low when I'm idle at a light or something. I can't find a solution online and thought I'd try here.

Sure, it sounds like you have a vacuum leak, or the throttle body needs to be serviced.

Here are three guides to help us fix it and I have included instructions in the images below for your car:
