After coming to a stop during acceleration the car will shudder or shake just have some vibration going on. The same action happens while going uphill at slow speeds. After accelerating and getting up to highway speeds the car runs fine. It just happens after stops. When stopped the car runs fine as well.

If the camshaft position is not correct because of worn out timing components such as the camshaft actuators it will cause this, but first make sure the engine oil is clean and full, if not change the oil and filter, the engine must have good oil for the timing components to work correctly. Also, let's run the codes to see if any are stored, which can help us find the problem as well.

Also, has the engine had a tune up with a throttle body service recently?
