It's got about 160k miles on it, I'm thinking I'll try cleaning the MAF and I could change plugs? But it wasn't all that long ago I did that.

It's recently also started doing it other times than idle too. I tried. Checking the air fuel ratio with the OBD2 but it sounds like that might just give the target?

Exactly had the same issue for quite a while..

I have cleaned the TB, MAF, PCV and regularly changed oils and filter as well as changed plugs... but the problem is still intermittently there and i learned to lived with it as i heard it is Normal for all Yaris having manual trans...

Anyway, i got nothing to loose and said to myself to try the Gumout regane fuel system cleaner with PEA which i find on the shelf in the store and was surprised to see a big difference..

No more shutter at idle for 1 week now and counting... my wild guess, it could be partially dirty injectors or fuel system lines, i also get ~20% extra mpg...

i know some people confirmed it to be related to the brake booster but with just a few bucks i got nothing to loose here...
