When I drive, and then im at a stop light or waiting to turn, of course the car is idling a little bit above the "1". Ok, every once in a while the needle drops below the one and toggles a little bit like the car wants to shut off but it catches itself. Then the lights flicker a little bit on the dash. If i didnt have my foot on the brake the car feels as if it wants to go..but then when I drive it's fine. Any suggestions? Also it gives a little smell.

Has the check engine light come on? Also, have you checked for vacuum leaks?
