My car starts fine. But when I put it in gear, the RPMs drop down to about 200 at the most! Then the engine feels like it is sputtering or vibrating and the car jerks around like it is stalling out or something. It is an automatic. It only does it for about a second or two. Then rides just fine for the rest of the day. PLEASE HELP!!!

i cant say aboutthe rpm drop, but when my motor mounts were broken, the same thing would happen going into gear. -greg

I had a similar problem and thought it might be a dirty IAC valve.. but while in the process of removing it from my throttle body I noticed a dried out and cracked hose. It ended up that the problem was a vaccum leak from the broken hose. So check out your vaccum lines to see it if they are all in good shape.
