“I bought this vehicle new in 2007. I have only had minor problems until this began. The vehicle idle began fluctuating while sitting still. It would rev to 2000 rpms and drop and nearly stall. It doesn't happen regularly, so I wasn't concerned. Then it stalled on my wife in the drive thru. I cleaned the throttle body and replaced all spark plugs and coil packs at around 60000.
