Q: I have a Mozda that will cut out completly when i put it in Park.
When i start the car and its cold it has no problem idling where it needs to be. When it starts to warm up the rpm will go all the way to down to about 260 to 500and fluctuate between the two. It will also do this when im stopped at an intersection. When i put the car in park it will go to 1000 rpm and quickly go to 100 and die.
My car has 174000 miles.
My car has an automatic transmission.
