http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IkcLL_LsP1I

It only does this in P or N not D...Anyone ever experience this?

Remind us about what you have attempted so far to fix the problem.

I haven't tried anything yet. It mysteriously wouldn't start after I replaced the exhaust. I was just recently able to get the car started after changing plugs, oil and fuel filter. I don't have a CEL yet and I just drove the car to work (20 miles). Maybe I'll get one on the way home. Anyway, it seems to be okay driving, but I'd like to go about troubleshooting in the most reasonable way.

I am having difficulties hearing the idle problem in the video. Could you provide a description?

Sure. It basically revs then cuts out, revs and cuts out, etc. but without stalling out. Again, it only does it when reaching operating temperature. I wish I had a tach to tell what the RPM fluctuations were.

Check carefully for intake air leaks (IM and throttle body gaskets) and vacuum leaks (hoses and connections for the brake booster, PCV, breather, cruise control, etc.).

Top off reservoir and radiator and bleed the cooling system of possible trapped air.

Clean the IACV (see forum DIY section).

Well that will give me plenty to do...what other places do I look for vacuum leaks that you didn' mention? I'll clean the IACV for sure.

Do I blled the cooling system by just running the engine with the radiator cap off?

Thanks.
