what is the idle doing? Is it very low, very high, jumping up and down and if so between what rpms? Little more info please. And also does it only do it under cold start and go away when warmed up? Any check engine lights?

The idling happens when its in park mostly and when the car slows down too

And the check engine light is on, we just had the tranny rebuilt and it didn't idle until I was almost home at which time the engine light turned back on

The idle control motor is very expensive too
