Syptoms are:

Feels like you are trying to stop a manual trans car without pushing the clutch in. Will shudder and shake as it winds to a stop, then stall. Starts right up in park or nuetral, but slams to a halt when you try to put it in gear.

Will usually work fine after a few seconds to minutes, and might be fine until the next episode.

Only happens after engine is fully warmed up.

Sound familiar?

How would I check this? Secondly there is no thud or clunk when I try to put it into gear after it stalls. I am wondering if it could be the iac motor. is this a possibility.

the first time it happened it did start and go after a few minutes but ran like it was missing on 3 cylinders and was sputtering.
thank you for your help trouble shooting this
