serious idle problem, help needed asap please!!!
The engine idles higher in neutral because there is no load on the engine. When you put it in drive and feel the car jump forward its because the engine is now transmitting power to the trans and trying to turn the driveshaft...in turn moving the car. If its in neutral its just spinning the torque convertor and not rying to spin the rest of the trans therefore having no load.on the engine because the trans is no longer giving the engine any resistance.
Hope that makes sense to you...kind of tough to explain.
Bsically your throttle is sticking, anything idle wise should throw a code. Check your throttle body and if it moves ok then id thow a new throttle cable on to be safe.

). I've also seen cable housings that open up or wear away, dirt and crap will get in there and cause them to bind. Good luckHey try not to let the trans load up like that. It's not good for them.

Do you have the Torx drivers? take the IAC off and clean it. I remember mine was pretty cruded up after 80K. It is on the Pass side of the TB at the bottom. Try that. If the car is idling fine and then surges up on its own it is not the cable or the blades.
Maybe take off the TB and clean it as well, cause where the IAC goes in will be a mess as well.
