Thanks. Yeah, if you find anything else out let me know. Ironically my car has not stalled out again- when placed in gear, or even when stopping the past two times I have driven it last. I have other cars, so I only drive this one about two to three times per week. I am still using caution however at stop signs and traffic signals, as I come to a stop slowly, to be sure it does not have a chance to stall @ a stop. It has only did this twice, but it is frustrating. Seems like both times, it stalled when it was "upshifting" back into 1st gear- the idle goes up a little you know and when it goes back down, it seems to go down too far- then it stalls, but immediately starts back up and runs smoothly.

Sometimes with my idle- it will idle around 900 rpms when in park, but most of the time, about 700-750. When in drive- mostly 500-550 rpms, but sometimes about 700 (when it idles 1000 in park).

So far, it is not a big deal, but I am guessing it may only get worse.

Good luck to you! Keep me posted. Thanks again!
