When I started up my car this morning I turned it over and just got a clicking. So I look under the hood and wiggle the starter around and it turned over but wouldn't keep an idle so I hit the gas and as soon as I let off it stalled. So I did it again and held the gas down so I could keep an idle at 1.5k then a min or so later I let off the gas and it was fine. Anyone know what it could be?

You shouldn't be able to wiggle the starter. You may have a loose/corroded terminal or a weak battery. You probably got some condensation that needed burned off and that's why it smoothed out after a minute. I'd check out the battery connections making sure they are clean and tight and if they already are then I'd start thinking about replacing the battery. Otherwise I wouldn't worry about it.
Yeah definitely check for loose connections and corrosion at all the terminals. In a moment of idiocy last year I replaced a starter on another car only to find that it was just corrosion on the battery terminals. That was an expensive lesson.
Hey everyone! I've been trying to remove my transmission for two days now! I need to replace the clutch. Only thing I've got left holding the transmission...
