Exclamation Idle problem!!! Helpppp

ok so i believe i have an idling problem which started like 2 days ago. when i turn off my car it idles at 750 a lil less and then it just turns offf rite away, unless i give it a lil gas (WHILE IN NEUTRAL).

After i get into 1st nd start shifting, lets say iim @ a red light nd so i brake nd shift to NEutral to stop, once the car reaches an RPM of 1000 it goes alll the way down to 0! nd the car turns offf. Does anyone know wat the problen can be???

Any suggestions would really help, THanks a lot!

Any power loss?

Don't start two threads on the same thing..

Mileage? Year? Recalls done?

How old are your coils?

Get a compression test. Then clean and replace everything.

I had the same problem...I took it to the dealer and they told me that the throtle body was dirty and it couldn't close all the way when in neutral or something like that plus needed a software upgrade." that cost me $120..
after that it is all good....
