What year is your 202? My car does a very similar thing but only once a day. In the morning I drive 2.5 miles to work (lucky me). At the light in front of my office, every time, almost without fail, after sitting there for a few seconds the RPM willdrop momentarily to below 500 RPM and then will level out again and that is the end of it. Considering the car has an air pump and EGR system I have been assuming that this is something to do with the emmissions control system turning on once the car has warmed up a certain amount. This is just a guess of course. But with all the computer decision making going on in this car I have started to call it HAL.
