:chairshot: Ok, My mechanic told me exactly what I did not want to hear. My transmission was doing the same thing, I always warm up my car before I drive it; but, it was making a squealing noise that I was concerned about, then it stopped. It worked fine for a few miles, then stuttered a bit, RPM's dropped to idle speed, the engine would rev when I stepped on the gas, but no speed was gained. So, I pulled over. When I tried to shift gears (to all of them including reverse) as I sat there, nothing. So, I parked it and called a tow truck. No codes when I took it in, no warning lights pre, during or post that incident. I am buying a transmission as we speak! :cries:

Another update...I drove up to the Midwest and my bestfriends brother-in-law said he would clean it for a case of beer. SO, he got a case of beer!!! He said it looked like the bottom of a fish bowl, gravel-y like, but he cleaned the IAC valve and TB. The start up is fine, it runs like a champ, maybe my gas mileage will get better? I got 24mpg on the way up, I will check it out on the way back to Texas.
