IAC valve or did you do that already? There is a vacuum leak somewhere. Good Luck!
That is next. I'm also pretty sure a vacuum leak as well. Thank you.
Damn. New IAC but same issue. No more check engine light. Shifts smooth. Mechanic said he believes performance chip bad. Discontinued. Dealer wants 450 for new ecm (I think that's right).
I have one more idea that is concerning a vacuum leak possibly with the brake booster that I thought should be checked since you mentioned when you brake at a stop this issue happens. There is usually a check valve before the brake booster...it might be bad or the vacuum brake booster might have a pin hole in diaphragm. Thought I'd throw that in there before you shell out $ on the ECM. Also if it is the ECM is it possible to open the unit up? If it's just a bad solder joint you might be in luck and be able to DIY the thing. If not perhaps you can find a used one. Good Luck!
Makes sense. Breaks are always going soft. Adjusted rear drum, new fro
