I have a 97 and iam getting random codes. They go away and dont come back. But it runs great cold then when it warms up it idles at 400-500rpm's when driving it drops to 200rpm when comming to a stop. I have tried putting it in N but does the same thing and when in idle at 400rpm and I go to n or p it drops to 150rpm and takes a minute to recover. New plugs, distributor, coil, cat, exhaust manifold, plug wires, air filter, alternator, zero air leaks. I have no clue anymore
