here is my issue, every time i start my x it immediately idles at a little less than 2500 rpm's, if it sits for a minute it'll bog down slightly for less than a second only to jump up to 3500 rpm's. it'll idle like this even if the car is warmed up. when i go into reverse or drive it'll slam down hard to about 1000 to 1500 rpm's. the only code it threw was for the 2-3 shift flare issue. its a 98 xlt 4.0 sohc, new idle air control which i recently cleaned, recently cleaned MAF, air filter, and all under the hood electric connections, i did all this in hopes of fixing the problem with no success. this is leading me to think it is more of a tranny issue than air or fuel problem even tho i have not troubleshot any fuel issues. the tranny does shift late often and downshift hard even tho it is less than a year old. any quick help would be greatly appreciated, i have no other car and id like to fix this before it dies on me.
