Car will not idele without having foot on acclerator. If you stop at red light or stop sign car dies unless you have one foot on brake and other on gas. There is no check engine light on and car runs really well other than this problem. Car is 2002 toyatoa camry

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.
