    The IAC valve (idle air control) would be a good place to start. Sometimes a good clean of the IAC valve will fix them.

    I thought I was wrong once but I was mistaken.

    I had that problem, mine didn't shake that violently when the revs dropped, but i just replaced a split vacuum line about 20 minutes ago, fixed it up fine.
