Rav 4 1998 Toyota stalling when coming to a stop, turning or placed in park. Occasionally misses (jerks) when accelerating from a stop or slowing vehicle.

Recently lubed, air filter replaced, oil changed, throttle body serviced and had spark plugs and wires replaced. Problem still exists. Help!

The symptoms would point to a vacuum leak or a possible faulty mass airflow sensor. Also, if the check engine light in on, have that scanned first.

I would almost bet this is a out of adjustment or defective throttlebody shift cable. there are two cables to the throttle body ( carburetor ) 1. accelerator cable, 2. throttle body - transmission kickdown cable. the kick down cable is usually out adjustment. sometimes because this cable is adjustable and the adjustment portion is worn out. good luck and let me know if this helps.

Did they clean the idle air control motor. I done a few. You have to use a pick or paper clip works and dig the carbon build up out of them, with using a cleaner.
