Default Car missing at idle.

My car seems to have a slight miss at idle. When I put it drive and hold the break the rpm's drop to about 400 to 600 and it will miss harder and act like it wants to cut off. It isn't throwing any codes. please help

Oh yeah, it runs fine anywhere above idle, but if I am slowing down at a red light it starts bucking when I am close to being stopped.

throw a scan tool on there as well. Some times the codes don't always trip a light right away.
