as of recentely, the engine sputters and feels like its going to stall when i put it into drive or reverse and just sit there w/ the brakes on
it IS due for an oil change but i doubt that'd be the problem cuz i checked the oil and its levels are okay
tranny has almost 100k miles. any ideas?
plz feel free to ask for more information so i can get a better idea of what to do. ty

You may have a bad IAC ( idle air control) but try cleaning the throttle body first. Remove the intake snorkel, have someone hold the throttle wide open for you and scrub the back side of the throttle plate and surrounding bore with an old tooth brush and some carb cleaner. Be sure to spray some into the small holes next to the throttle plate. That should help stabilize the idle. If it still has a problem, replace the IAC.
