Thanks oldsinner, turned out the throttle body just needed to be cleaned. She idles just fine and I even took her on a 1000 mile round trip home to see the parents for the holidays. Unfortunately this morning, the parking brake got stuck, took it off and the light stayed on, had to pull it forward with my foot to get the warning light to go out. Then the vehicle wouldn't shift from park with the brake covered. This is all new, but it was really cold outside, which doesn't explain much. I'll do some searches on my own, just wanted to get the problem out there and see if anyone a whole lot smarter than me knows whats going on.
