Default Idiling funky...

My car idles at .5k, but it will go alittle crazy at times, moving to .6 ot .7 k, and it will do this at say stop lights or what not.

Also the rear shakes a bit, and when I'm stopped at a stop light for an extended time, it doesn't immidiatly kick and go, it takes a slight second.

It also feels like its trying to shift gears at extended stops...(but I think that just might be the weird idling...)

Maybe try cleaning the idle air circuit with throttle body cleaner--just as important as having clean injectors.
