1998 Daihatsu Charade is threatening to stall at low rpm, such as when I slow down to stop or make a turn. Sometimes when driving, the car hesitates when you press the gas. From time to time you can feel the car shaking when you put your foot on the gas pedal and it will start to shudder sometimes at low speeds. It restarts fine when it does cut out. Recently changed the fuel filter as was thought to be the problem and the car worked fine for a few weeks. Now it has started doing the same thing again. What might be the problem?

First eliminate all vacuum or air leaks in the system. You may have a bad IAC ( idle air control) but try cleaning the throttle body first. Remove the intake snorkel, have someone hold the throttle wide open for you and scrub the back side of the throttle plate and surrounding bore with an old tooth brush and some carb cleaner. Be sure to spray some into the small holes next to the throttle plate. That should help stabilize the idle. If it still has a problem, replace the IAC.
