    hot = bad idle?

    Hey I got a 99 corolla and most of the time after i've been driving on the highway for a bit, then start to city drive some, my car seems to idle really low like it's about to stalls out and shakes but only when i've been driving for a bit?? any ideas what this could be?

    PS. I did get a coil wet a while ago and it threw out a code. I erased it and it never came back, maybe a coil is getting bad
