I replaced my ignition lock cylinder and my car starts up right away, but after it warms up the rpms fluctuate from 200-800 rpms and will die shortly after. This was not an issue with the old ignition lock cylinder. This only happens while slowing down to a stop while driving. If I come to a complete stop the car will idle normal at 800 rpms.
