its not idle surge...the idle is set at 900. i've noticed the issue last couple days (<30 degree temps) that sometimes (haven't quite figured out the parameters in which it occurs) the idle will drop to 800, not surge back up, and then when i am at a complete stop, the idle bounces (still under 900) and then the car wants to stall.
it hasn't happened at all before, and lately i've been using my heat...so maybe i'm thinking that theres a table that adjusts airflow or spark with the heat/defrost on?
so i'm going to try and drive without utilizing the heat/defrost/ac and see if the problem still occurs
if it still occurs then i'm assuming it may be an issue with the converter sticking after lock-up has been acheived and not releasing while slowing down.
so i'm going to try and drive in D (not D-box) so the car doesn't lockup and see if thats the issue.
also...sometimes the car will save itself from stalling, sometimes it won't. when it doesn't, and the car dies, after restart, everything is back to normal.
interesting conundrum.
