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?

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.
Had to be evacuated Monday again after a fire was going on the hill behind us. Only 3-4 hours, they did a good job getting it under control. Especially...
