Engine stumbles when idling - what's wrong?
When I'm waiting at a traffic light, I can feel the car shudder slightly every now and then. Since the RPM dips down momentarily when the car shudders, I figure it must be the engine that's stumbling.
Any idea what the problem might be?

I can feel the shudder when the engine is idling (e.g. waiting at a traffic light) even when the A/C is off.

The fuel pump and fuel filter (OEM) were replaced a year and a half ago - this was after the engine shut off on its own when coasting at a low speed. Hopefully it's not the same thing, as that was an expensive repair!
Thanks for the suggestions. If anything else comes to mind, please post.
