Rpm idle?
What does your car idle at? First time I have driven car at under 70(about 50). And the car is idling around 550 and then jumps to 750 after a few seconds. This happens at every stoplight.

My H/C car in Park= 900 rpms. In gear= 750 rpms.
It sounds like you (OP) need a tune. You may possibly have an un-metered air leak.
