I flipped through the Bentley, and it said check the IACV. Mine was only doing that once it was warmed up, so, with the engine not yet warmed up, I unplugged the IACV. Sho nuff, it reproduced the problem.

So, I plugged it back in and haven't had a problem since then. I'm thinking it just had a dirty connection or something, but I'm going to have the mechanic check it out tomorrow while my baby's in the shop for new shocks.

Hope you find it.
