Sometimes when leaving from a stand still, the engine has a stalling effect. This does not happin all the time. Also, when cold, the engine will idle high until I put it into gear then it will itle low.

Thanks, Les

Hi:
This type of problem could be caused by a sensor, vacuum leak. I recommend starting by having the computer scanned for codes. Most nationally recognized parts stores will do it for free.
Also, check for vacuum leaks.

Let me know what you find.
