Hello, the car will sometimes stall when coming to a stop. It will at other times jerk and hesitate on acceleration. When cold, after starting, it will has a decrease in RPM as the gas pedal is pushed down, kinda like it bogs out. Worst of all after warming up the idle will surge to ~2500 RPM even with the accelerator out. This makes shifting somewhat problematic. If you have any advice for me, it would be much appreciated. Thanks tony
