My 91 isuzu rodeo idles high (1000 rpm) and clunks when coming to a stop (ie when gearing down) for about the first 15 minutes of driving time. Once I have a few miles on it, it seems to run fine. Had the trans serviced, they could find nothing wrong and the problem disappeared. Showed up a again about 3 months later. Took it to the shop they found some shorted wires. Problem disappeared for a couple of months and is back again.

When the Trans shop serviced the trans, they first hooked it up and said everything came up fine (which they said sur[prised them considering there apparently is an inordinatel amount of electronics on the 91 Rodeo)

Under such circumstances, you would have to hook up diagnostic equipments and go for a test drive. Note the data stream when problem occurs and check if any is out of spcec.
