Question
My car is stalling. I notice this when car is at a stop
From full stop to acceleration the I feels the engine struggles
To pickup and than all of sudden it rides normal.

I had done my car maintenance at 30,000 miles,

At present I have 41000 miles on the car.

Only thing I can think of is I had switched to regular gas
From plus.  

Could it be bad fuel?  

Thank you very much for your time

Answer
Hello, welcome to my expert page.
There are frquent problems with the idle speed control valves on both 4cylinder and V-6 Camrys, the problem can be fixed most of the time by cleaning the ISC valve, this involves removing the throttle body and removing the valve so it can be cleaned.
