It also only really does it when the car is warm after driving a bit. I had no problems with it when I drove it home from the shop. Then I had no problems driving to work the next morning. It's when I took my lunch break and drove it to the mall that I had the problem backing up out of my spot after lunch. Same story today. Idled fine in the morning before I drove it to work, then once it warmed up it would idle low and stall when put in reverse. Also when I'm driving at like 25MPH and I give it a little gas to get up to 30MPH as soon as I take my foot off the gas the idle dropped right down to around 750, like a sudden drop, not the slow decrease like it used to. Do these sound like symptoms of a dirty IAC? Cause that's easy enough to clean when I get the time (been working 5am-2pm lately, and have been too tired). I would just hate for this to be a problem with the transmission cause this is the 2nd tranny the guy has installed.
