Default Idle Issues

When I start my car, the Idle goes to a little more than 1K rpms. After a few seconds it drops to about a little more than 500rpms. Then, when I put it in gear to back out of my driveway, it starts revving on its own as if the tranny won't let the engine spin and the computer is dying while trying to maintain revs. It is really weird. Any ideas on what's going on?

It also does this sometimes when I come to a stop while driving ie. At a red light or something...

Thanks in advance for the help.

Suggest posting in the correct forum. This one is for 05 and later Stangs. Good luck.

Sounds like a possible dirty TB.

These Ford throttle bodies seem to be very fragile.
