The car had a tune up a few months ago with a new a new air filter and spark plug wires. Acceleration and gas mileage are great. The problem, is when I'm at a stop light after sixty seconds I get a sudden drop in the RPM, this last for a second for almost every sixty seconds while I'm stopped at a light, but the car does not die out. This only happens when the car has been driven for at least twenty minutes. When I put the car in park the same thing, but the rpm drop low enough for the car to die. What is this?

With no check engine light? Check your Idle air control valve, it's bolted to the side of the throttle body.
