My car will idle really rough at half way below the 1 on the RPM's. If I put it in nuteral it wont die, but after first starting it and taking off it dies when I stop. Idles really rough. Then just dies. But if you drive it a little while it will only idle rough and wont die. The longer you drive it the higher the RPM idles at(like if I drive it for 30 mins it will idle at the 1 and wont be rough). Can anyone help me? I am a single mom with 2 kids and dont want to get ripped off at the repair shop.I have been told "they see you comin" when I go to those kind of places! Thanks~!

Do you have a check engine light and when was the last tune-up?

Get the IACV-AAC valve, throttle position and mass airflow sensor checked to include the fuel pressure
